  • 1.  SAV for Linux - errors when installing it on Ubuntu 12.10

    Posted Dec 27, 2012 04:16 PM

    Hi guys,

    I'm running Ubuntu 12.10, kernel version 3.5.0.21-generic, 64-bit, US English.

    When I tried to install SAV for Linux version 1.0.14-13, I received the following messages at the terminal window:

    -------------------------------------------------start of quote--------------------------------------------------------------------

    sharon@sharon:~$ cd /home/sharon/savfl/deb

    sharon@sharon:~/savfl/deb$ sudo dpkg -i sav-*.amd64.deb savap-*.amd64.deb savjlu-*.amd64.deb savui-*.amd64.deb

    [sudo] password for sharon:

    How do I fixed those errors that I have highlighted in bold?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You are going to need to build a new autoprotect module for this kernel. Below is documentation on how to accomplish this.
