dkms_install throws away errors: Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 6.5.12_1 cannot be found at /lib/modules/6.5.12_1/build or /lib/modules/6.5.12_1/source.

I'm using VoidLinux and I downloaded v11.zip from the release section.

when I run: sudo make dkms_install, I will get these errors:

dkms add .

Please install the linux-headers-6.5.12_1 package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
make: *** [Makefile:101: dkms_modules_install] Error 1

Some informatin:

↳ uname -a
Linux gnu_linux 6.5.12_1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 18:31:50 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Also linux6.5-headers-6.5.13_1 package is installed on my machine.
Any idea?

Ok, i solved that issue. it was because my system was not update. after updating the kernel and run again the same command, i will receive new error:

I am experiencing exactly the same problem on Pop!_OS with kernel version 6.6.6-76060606-generic. Did you manage to solve it or find additional info?

Is it possible that the issue is similar to this one – the absence or a wrong setting of some kernel parameters (like CONFIG_USB)?

I switched to: https://opentabletdriver.net/

and it's working perfectly for me.

[matous-volf]

That works for me too. Thanks!
