Can't figure out where is my directory of c header files
[root@SANA4SPA jcs]# vmware-config-tools.pl
Stopping VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Guest operating system daemon: [ OK ]
None of the pre-built vmmemctl modules for VMware Tools is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmemctl module
for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?
[yes] y
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]

Note that you will definitely need to change the path to the correct version of the kernel installed and running on your system. To find the correct path, simply navigate to /usr/src and look at the installed versions. The newest one should be the correct version.
Thank you both for taking the time to help me out.
I updated my kernel and was able to navigate to the files listed. But I'm not sure which one of these files I am suppose to use and also how to enter the syntax.
[root@SANA4SPA jcs]# cd /usr/src/kernels/
[root@SANA4SPA kernels]# ls -1
2.6.35.14-95.fc14.i686
2.6.35.14-95.fc14.i686.PAE
2.6.35.14-96.fc14.i686
2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686
I'm having the same problem but my installation says:
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not valid.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
I've tried changing it to both /usr/src/linux/include and /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686/include/linux (the only kernel listed), and it can't find either.
I've already done the following before the VM Tools install:
Hello, thank you for taking the time. I installed all the items you stated. even accept the default but I still get the same outcome. Help!!

vmware-tools is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl.

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.
