Sophos error on Linux OS

Question

Hi,

We encounter installation error with the following Linux OS:

Kernel version: 2.6.32-71.el6.i686
OS release: CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)

Kernel version: 3.0.0-15-generic
OS Release: Ubutnu 11.10 Desktop

Error: Unable to load TALPA modules. On access scan is not enable/running.

we tried to look for document related to this issue but nothing found. we have few servers running CentOS.

Thank you,

Teddy

Hi Tedz, Unfortunately these are both unsupported distributions so we don't include a pre-compiled Talpa module (used for on-access scanning). - CentOS is not currently supported - We only support LTS versions of Ubuntu However, the installer will attempt to compile a Talpa module during installation/update.  In order to do this you will need development tools such as gcc, make, and the kernel source installed.  This article provides more information: http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/13503.html Once you have these tools installed you can attempt compilation by running: /opt/sophos-av/engine/talpa_select select Hope this helps, Tom. :21711
