Do I miss something here? The source it finds on every other kernel also: spl-dkms /usr/src/spl-0.6.5.2/

Here is the config.log.

Here is another try with zfs. However spl works just fine.

Ok, issue is within dkms 2.2.0.3+git151023-1. I've to check what changed here.

Had the same issue, fixed it by running # dkms autoinstall

I just tripped on this in Debian -- spl works okay for me, zfs doesn't. I'm running dkms 2.2.1.0+git20160527-1.

This is solved by https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=836578 .

nope.

maintainer claims it's fixed but for me it's still not working for kernels 4.6 and 4.7 from jessie-backports

checking spl build directory... <- here stays for a "sleep 600" period (10 minutes)
then fails with

configure: error:
*** Please make sure the kmod spl devel package for your
*** distribution is installed then try again. If that fails you
*** can specify the location of the spl objects with the
*** '--with-spl-obj=PATH' option.

spl builds ok on both 4.6 and 4.7
