The Make tool.
The names of these packages vary depending on your Linux distribution.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS, the packages normally will be installed by the setup program.
In other distributions, you need to install the packages if they are not installed or do not have the
required versions.
Are the required packages already installed?
To check whether the packages are already installed, perform these steps:
1. Run the following command to find out the kernel version and the required GCC version:
cat /proc/version
This command returns lines similar to the following: Linux version 2.6.35.6 and gcc
version 4.5.1
2. Run the following command to check whether the Make tool and the GCC compiler are installed:
make -v
gcc -v
For gcc, ensure that the version returned by the command is the same as in the gcc version in
step 1. For make, just ensure that the command runs.
3. Check whether the appropriate version of the packages for building kernel modules is installed:
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Fedora, run the following command:
yum list installed | grep kernel-devel
In Ubuntu, run the following commands:
dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-headers
dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
In either case, ensure that the package versions are the same as in Linux version in step 1.

The following table lists how to install the required packages in various Linux distributions.
The setup program will download and install the packages
automatically by using your Red Hat subscription.
The setup program will download and install the packages
