Did you get it to work? If

Hello, I am trying to configure and access Xeon-Phi by running a linux container running a centos image.

Host OS: 4.2.0-coreos-r1 and I am running the centos image as a linux container. When I try to install the MPSS library it breaks in the build phase with following error message. Initially it was not able to find env variable for $(DESTDIR), so i have assigned a folder. But still it breaks and I am not able to find the reason.

[root@a98e650726a1 mpss-3.6]# rpmbuild --rebuild mpss-modules-*.rpm

Did you get it to work? If you did can you please share steps?

If not, your CoreOS host may be your problem. The Kernel is going to be the one from the underlying OS. Try with RHEL/CentOS as the base - pay close attention to the kernel versions that are validated with mpss. If you want to get CentOS into a Kubernetes cluster etc. it's not required to be running on CoreOS.

The easiest is going to be to take the matching mpss linux kernel and running docker on it. I have not tried it however if you are still running into problems please feel free to drop a note and will be able to try out quickly.
