The ksymoops utility is kinda ancient history these days. Much of its
functionality has moved into the kernel; at least for common build
configurations (see CONFIG_KALLSYMS, Documentation/Changes and
Documentation/oops-tracing.txt in the kernel sources).

For 2.6 kernels it's almost never necessary to run the oops output
through ksymoops before posting it.

Historical ksymoops sources are available here if you need them:
