the module simply won't work with 3.X kernels The only option is reverting to 2.6.30 kernel or removing it. given that its a quite specialized package for high performance computing removal will be the right option in pretty much all cases.
** Description changed: - Simply put, blcr-dkms has never successfully installed on Ubuntu 11.10. + blcr-dkms 0.8.2 does not work on kernels newer than 2.6.30. 0.8.4 only works with 2.6.38. + If you need this package you must revert to such a kernel, if not simply remove it. TEST CASE: In Ubuntu 11.10: sudo apt-get install blcr-dkms grep error /var/lib/dkms/blcr/0.8.2/build/make.log And you will see the error: configure: error: --with-linux argument '3.0.0-12-generic' is neither a kernel version string nor a full path ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: I installed paraview via the synaptic package manager and it gave me this error. It says that paraview installed properly and it seems to be working perfectly. I am using Ubuntu 11.10.
