I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and wanted to setup a server running ZFS/XBMC - The XBMC install went fine, however I ran into trouble getting ZFS working.

Configuration : Ubuntu 13.10 (GNU/Linux 3.12.0-rc7+ x86_64)

I attempted to install ZFS native using :

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-zfs

This failed to install due to "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed."

Trying sudo modprobe zfs shows FATAL error : module not found.

Here, they mentioned it was to do with lacking build dependences- I followed the answer which was to run

   sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-zfs zfs-dkms zfsutils spl spl-dkms libzfs1 dkms 

Then, REBOOT. Then, do:

   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essentia
   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-zfs " 

This leaves me in the same situation with "Building only for 3.12.0-rc7+ Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed." when trying to install ubuntu-zfs.

Trying

   sudo apt-get install --reinstall zfs-dkms also does not work.
