How to Install Kernel Sources Arch Linux

[quicktek]

Hello,

I'm trying to run a shell installer script and it's failing with this error:

Kernel sources or kernel headers directory not found. Please install the corresponding package first.

The directory it is checking for is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

I've seen some other threads on doing this for Debian, but those instructions don't seem to work, nor do these (for obvious reasons):

Code: Select all

# How to install kernel sources (or kernel headers).
# Debian: apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-`uname -r`
# RedHat,Fedora: yum install make gcc kernel-devel-`uname -r`
# Proxmox VE: apt-get install build-essential pve-headers-`uname -r`

It should be checking for
/usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

It should be checking for
/usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

Ahh, perfect thank you. I created a symlink to this location and it worked (was easier than modifying the script).

In the near future (it's happened to x86 arch already) /lib becomes a symlink to /usr/lib
