Re: 2.6 kernel headers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've got the kernel-source installed but the vmware config script does the following:

---
None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]


Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-1.118/include


The path "/usr/src/linux-2.6.0-1.118/include" is an existing directory, but it
does not contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as
expected.
---


so the question is.. where do i point vmware-config.pl so it can find the headers?

Help. I've installed the rpm of kernel 2.6.0-1.118 and run VMWare on my
system. It requires that it be pointed to the kernel headers in order
to build itself a module that will work with the current kernel. I've
installed the kernel-source package as well but cannot locate the
directory it needs to be pointed to and I cant find a glibc-kernheaders
package for 2.6



glibc-kernheaders is what it says: kernel headers *for glibc*. To build actual kernel modules you need the kernel-source package for whatever kernel version you're using.
