Hi All:

I'm trying to rebuild the kvm SRPM (kvm-83-164.el5_5.9.src.rpm)
on a centos 5.5 x86_64 and it's failing with the message:

error: Failed build dependencies:
kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-194.el5 is needed by kvm-83-164.9.x86_64

I have already run "yum-builddep <srpm>" and here is the output
(indicates nothing missing)

I can't figure how this missing dependency would be resolved?

It looks as if you have all required packages. Can you confirm that
kernel-devel is indeed there? What is the output from:

rpm -qa kernel* | sort

Note: the above "yum-builddep" sucked in the "kernel-xen-devel" for some
reason, not sure why. Here's the output of the above:

kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
kernel-2.6.18-194.el5
kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5

Thanks,
David

The message says it is looking for kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.el5, but
you only have kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5. Note the extra "3.1".

I had that one before and removed it hoping it would help...

It needs the base Kernel-Devel 2.6.18-194 to build against, so when it
is installed it is put into that dir then linked to the other kernel
dirs when the kernel is updated. I wondered why that was so for a few
hours one night then found out through trial and error.

Neds, list posting on here lead to me figuring it out the kmod
nightmare.

What is your build command?

John
