OpenSuse Failed to find kernel source directory

Thread needs solution

I am trying out Acronis Backup and Recovery for Linux. Windows version I own works fine. When I install on OpenSuse 11.4 x86 I get an error:

Failed to find kernel source directory
'/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop/build'
The source of your kernel or the kernel headers
requires installing.

My libraries are installed. Thoughts?

Thanks.

Hello Steve,

Welcome to our Forum, and thank you for reporting about the issue, I will be glad to help you with it.

It's hard to say for sure what went wrong without the investigation. Could you please run the following command and let us know the output here?

#yum -i build-essential kernel-headers
(or
#zypper install build-essential kernel-headers)

Let me know if you have any additional questions, I will be glad to help you.

Thank you.
