Bug 512916 – app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.24 with =sys-kernel/hardened-sources-3.10.1-r1 - Makefile:199: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description akarmn 2014-06-10 22:08:05 UTC]

It keeps saying that it can't find the kernel include directory, but I have it in /usr/src/linux and /lib/modules/3.10.1-hardened-r1/build/include, and even if I define the KERN_INCL variable, it gives the same message.

More info and build log below:

By the way, it works on my other machine (similar setup), so it might be something messed up with my environment, or I just have to rebuild the kernel.

[Comment 2 akarmn 2014-06-11 02:46:37 UTC]

OK I found the problem :)

I had /usr/src/linux-3.10.1-hardened-r1 root readable only. It must have been a precaution I took once by manually changing the permissions.

Doing chmod -R a+rx /usr/src/linux-3.10.1-hardened-r1 solved the problem.
