Hi, I have a similar issue as well while loading pcan driver.
I've downloaded the Linux PCAN driver from https://www.peak-system.com/PCAN-USB.199.0.html
Did $make clean && make && make install with no issues.
Was able to see PCAN-View gui in linux when i ran $pcanview
Though VMware detects PCAN-USB, In the PCAN-View linux gui, I see a dialogue box which says:
System error
NO PCAN device found.
Is the PCAN driver loaded? (No such file or directory)
I see the light solid red on the device.
But, on a new terminal, when i run $sudo modprobe pcan
I get the following errors:
sai@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo modprobe pcan
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='pcan'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'pcan': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:977 command_do() Error running install command for pcan
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'pcan': Operation not permitted
sai@ubuntu:~/Downloads$
BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.
This is my Kernel header version:
sai@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ uname -r
4.4.0-141-generic
sai@ubuntu:~/Downloads$
Nevertheless, Kernel is able to detect my PCAN-USB
sai@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ lsusb -d c72:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0c72:000c PEAK System PCAN-USB
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sai.
