ATIES CentOS 5.5 agent installation fail
I tried to install Linux agent in CentOS 5.5 fail with the following error.
====================================
glibc version is: 2.5
glibc version is: 2.5
Launching '/usr/sbin/dkms install -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.45 2>&1'.
Error! Could not locate snapapi26.ko for module snapapi26 in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 (i686) first.
Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.26.1.el5/build or /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.26.1.el5/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
exited with status 1.
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server Setup failed to build kernel modules. Consult /var/log/trueimage-setup.log and /var/lib/dkms/snapapi26/0.7.45/build/make.log for error messages.
=====================================
I have upgrade version of version 10 but version 10 has so many issue with the backup ftp server that I have and want to stick with Verstion 9. Build version that I install is 8398. Can anyone help me to sort out? That snapapi module always gives problem with linux server for Acronis. I had kernel panic a few times before with existing linux server.
Thanks

Hello winthu aung,
Thank you for posting and welcome to our forum. I will do my best to assist you.
Please try the following workaround. Refer to the following article from our Knowledge Base and perform all the steps, except for step number 7. Even though the article is used for collecting SnapApi logs it also shows how to completely remove the SnapApi component and recompile it.
If the suggestion does not work, please refer to step number 10 and contact our Support team so that we can help you with resolving this issue.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.
