Failed to load /lib/modules/5.10.140-00001-g69e7a81501b2/extra/pvrsrvkm.ko: No such file or directory

Creating the following symlinks gets my application running

pvrsrvctl is required for the Imagination University AI Demos.

Shoutout and thanks for the help in the live chat channel.

Oh fun, so Imagination built pvrsrvkm.ko against, 5.10.140-00001-g69e7a81501b2 a non-production random build..

i need to take a look at their docs again..

That might be true, but I will point out there is a pvrsrvkm.ko in the *r102/ (current kernel version module) directory which seems to work once I create the symlinks to where pvrsrvctl is looking.

It is the loader /usr/bin/pvrsrvctl that seems to be looking in the wrong place.
