Error when running aocl install

[SICILIANO__NIKOLAS]

Below is the terminal command and all output for running aocl install on s10_ref supplied with the FPGA SDK for OpenCL for Ubuntu. Some of the install works, then it crashes for the reasons given below.

To try and fix the error, I reinstalled linux-headers-generic but it did not fix the error. Thank you for any help with this issue.

Hi Nikolas,

What is your Ubuntu version and Linux kernel version?

Best regards,

Sergey

[SICILIANO__NIKOLAS]

Hi Sergey,

Ubuntu version is 18.04.1 and my kernel version is 5.3.0-45-generic.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nikolas,

Try to downgrade your kernel to 4.15 and install sources and headers for 4.15.

This should help.

Best regards,

Sergey

Iam trying to run some examples provide at Intel Documentation with Intel PAC card plugged in to PCIe slot, but when I run the following command on a docker container, It shows the following message and doesn't install properly. I'm not able to program or run any examples.

Hi Nikolas,

You will need to make some changes to the drivers to get it to install in Ubuntu 18.04, but its doable.  I have it running on my machine with kernel 5.3.0. See
