Can't Install VMware 5 on Fedora Core 5
Guys,
I did a very large check on the forum and tried several solutions but nothing worked yet I just can't get VMware to install. It stops at: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] I tried to give other directorys and installed and downloaded linux-headers-2.6.10-5 and linux-headers-2.6.10-5 but no go, I point to that dir but still no go Please help me !! Many thanks Code:
In which directory do you want to install the application's icon? |
did you actually look to see where the linux-headers package installed in the first place? it should be in /usr/src/ somewhere for sure, often also symlinked to /lib/modules/2.6.10-5/build or similar.

Try /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5/include
Worked for me on Ubuntu |

[/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-i586/include The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same address space size as your running kernel. What is the problem? |
i also eperienced the same problem in when trying it in OSS SuSe 10.0, but i dnt bother much i upgraded to OSS SuSe 10.1 and it insatlled it was giving me an error in wrong pointer to c header file. So i think you should try a new kernel version

I was able to install VMware 5 on Fedora 5 with these simple steps:
1. Determine what kernel is currently installed in your system by typing on command prompt uname -rm. You will be getting lists of kernels. If kernel-devel is not yet installed.. install it with this command yum -y install kernel-devel. However, version of your default kernel and kernel-devel should be similar. To let you understand more, add the default version of your kernel in downloading kernel-devel, i pressumed from your replies your kernel is 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-i586, then, yum -y install kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-i586, that will download certain version of kernel-devel. 2. download gcc-c++ and xinetd with yum 3. then, run ./vmware-config.pl, after then your good to go..... I hope it helps.... |
