OK:
[jdow@me2 ~]$ rpm -q kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.1.2.el6.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64
[jdow@me2 ~]$ ls /usr/include/linux/auto*
/usr/include/linux/auto_fs4.h /usr/include/linux/auto_fs.h
It is in /usr/src/2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64... But that does not seem to
be on the build path. A link might fix it. Some DRM stuff needed linking,
too.
What can I say?
But, that's only a small problem. The build can, apparently, work around
that with dkms installed. So it's installed on both VMs. (They started out
as the same VM some time ago. One is on the laptop and the other on my main
machine.)
I have to sort out why the script fails to find the kernel development
material. That is probably an Oracle bug, at a guess. But then I need to
figure out what the difference between the two machines is simply because
I don't like unexplained fixes. Somehow I got one to work. I think I did
the same "stuff" to the other. But apparently not. It's puzzling.
I'm not sure why /usr/include/linux is not overridden with a link to the
kernel-devel include files. That seems like a logical thing to do. Otherwise
why have kernel-devel installed at all if it's not automatically placed
on search paths?
(If I get frustrated enough I'll simply copy over the one that works,
rename it (again) and live with it. It's only a test environment.)
