Thread needs solution

Hi, I am installing Acronis True Image server Linux and the installation that the snapapi could not be compiled and I have to do it manually and when I try to compiled show me this error:

gw:~ # dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.45 --arch i686 --config=/boot/ --kernelsourcedir=/lib/modules/2.6.16.46-0.12-smp/build

Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.16.46-0.12-smp/build or /lib/modules/2.6.16.46-0.12-smp/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

Hello Lear,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

Do the following to install Acronis True Image Server for Linux:

    * Open terminal (console)

    * Log in as "root"

    * Make the installation file executable: # chmod +x file_name.i686

    * Run the binary: # ./file_name.i686

It is not possible to install Acronis True Image Server for Linux from X-Window System. The installation can only be started from the command line.

Linux Agent Install Problems

I am having problems installing Acronis agent for Linux on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4. First, the snapapi does not install. I cannot install manually either following the HOWTO.INSTALL document. Also, the management console connects to the agent okay but I cannot see any of my drives. The trueimagecmd --list does not show anything either. I am providing the fdisk -l output below for disk information. I thought that I should at least be able to see /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3 in the very least.

This should be in Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 thread.

Disk /dev/sda: 1887.4 GB, 1887436800000 bytes
