Error installing snapapi26 on Fedora 16

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm having a problem installing the snapapi26 on Fedora 16 with kernel 3.6.11-4. No problems installing it on CentOS 6 with kernel version 2.6.32-279.

Here's my ouput of installed packages and the make.log.

rpm -qa | grep kernel
abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.7-3.fc16.x86_64

Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which

Any help would be appreciated!!

Snapapi 0.7.64 doesn't support 3.6.x kernels. It is fixed in the beta version of upcoming Update 1, but this beta offers to download only Windows installer packages. So I suggest you to contact Acronis support with this issue.
