Sometime back I faced similar error on my CentOS machine and after googling I fixed it in 2 steps.

1. ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/build

2. ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/build /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/source

Can someone help me understand why this 2nd symbolic link (source-->build) required?

How hard is to understand not to top post, even when it is mentioned in one of the mail?
Secondly, if you want to ask a question, please create a new thread.

This seems like distro specific requirements, which are more suitable to be asked in distro mailing list.

Even if these are distro specific directory requirement it is very likely to override the requirements by making changes in configuration files and/or Makefile and/or .config to look for the given path. If at all you change the directory location, you might want to be sure that no other utility looks for those path e.g. other utilities which depend on kernel source path like virtual machines etc.

Whats the error?

Hi Anil

Please do not top post. 

For your error , please verify if /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/build is really linking to the folder containing the kernel files.

Sudip

Thats the issue the link is not there how to create the link.

On your mails please always put cc to the list.

Even if it is centos the build file will be there. And it should have a soft link to the folder containing your kernel source files. first please find out where your source file is . In my system it is at /usr/src/kernels/<version>

In your it should be /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64

After you find the folder , give the command  "sudo ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/build"
