hello,

I am still having problems in installing VMware server in FedoraCore 6. I just used vmware-any-any-update104, only to come up with thefollowing results:



[root@jeffrey vmware-any-any-update104]# ./runme.pl
Updating /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl ... already patched

VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need toconfigure it

for your running kernel by invoking the following command:

"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke thecommand for

you now? [yes] yes

Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.

Stopping VMware services:
  Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]

Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?
[/usr/share/icons] /usr/share/icons

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a
.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications] /usr/share/applications

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?
[/usr/share/pixmaps] /usr/share/pixmaps

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your

running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmonmodule foryour system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?[yes] 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 yourrunningkernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include]/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include

Any help would be greatly appreciated to resolve this.


Is your gcc installation incomplete?
