Build problems on Rocky Linux 9.2

[charlie-algo-logic]

Can't build it on Rocky Linux 9.2, looking for a directory that looks like kernel headers, kernel-devel is installed

[altest@localhost exanic-software]$ make

And I've never had these kinds of problems building on ubuntu 22.04 or Centos (old). I've done extensive modifications to add hot_reload debugging display features in those distros, no problems. However, the vanilla exanic-software build on Rocky Linux 9.2 is giving me fits.

It seems that your kernel and kernel-devel are not match. Update your kernel first and after that try to build

[charlie-algo-logic]

Tried that, there are no matching kernel-devel or kernel-header rpms to that kernel either. They all have a 40 number or 30 debug number that doesn't match either kernel's build.

Thus, neither the build environment for 9.2 nor 9.4 builds the open source exanic-software from the github, which means it can't be a replacement for our Centos customers, which means we have to convert everything from rpm to package manager software and scripts and move to Ubuntu/Debian.

for 9.4 you need 2.7.4 + 9.4 patch I'm using it a lot and it works
