Hi,

I am testing Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux Workstation (version 5.7-17 reports as version 5.7.13/RELEASE under Webmin) on Fedora 9 with kernel 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686

It took me some time to work out that I needed to load the kernel-devel-2.6.25.3-18.fc9 (i686) RPM (in Add/Remove Software) which then gave me all the files I need for the kernel packages required to compile kavmon - if anybody at KL reads this can you improve the documentation about this aspect of running kavmon.pl - thanks.

Unfortunately when I run kavmon.pl the compilation exits with errors.

Here is the output of kavmon.pl:

Can you help me to get this to compile?

Many thanks

Your kernel source is in /usr/src/kernels/ ?

Did your fedora 9 have the perl, gcc, binutils, glibc-devel, make and kernel-devel packages installed ?

it's know problem in new kernel version - each new +0.0.1 version kernel broke API for syscalls, as result module can't be complied.
