please am working on a project using Acronis after installation i am suppose to install snapapi26_modules-0.7.39-1.noarch.rpm
in order to use it i have to issue commands when issue this command
# dkms ldtarball --archive=/usr/lib/Acronis/kernel_modules/snapapi26-0.7.39-all.tar.gz

I can't help you with a problem in Redhat, but I can point you to this article about dkms:

hey friends i have fixed the issue on these i login in as root
su rootthen ran the command #dkms ldtarball --archive=/usr/lib/Acronis/kernel_modules/snapapi26-0.7.39-all.tar.gzit work

or if you want to run it from user point

login as root$su rootthen type#whereis dkmsthen #su -c'/usr/sbin/dkms ldtarball --archive=/usr/lib/Acronis/kernel_modules/snapapi26-0.7.39-all.tar.gz'
