when ever i install it give this msg

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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]

hav tried yum install kernel kernel-devel but it says u hav latest

plzplzpzl ppl HELP me

Show us please; rpm -qa 'kernel*'

BTW; you also need to have the kernel-headers package(s) installed.

kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8

update kernel header but nth happen more help plz

First you do not have the kernel-devel package installed for either kernel.

As root type: yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers

[root@localhost ~]# yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers

Plz Do Something Lenard

plz add me on yahoo acromez@yahoo.de

Are you running the 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 kernel, the same one that has the kernel-devel and kernel-headers installed???

uname -a

Please make sure you did type the command I posted earlier, you should have seen both kernels, the kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages, for example;

$ rpm -qa 'kernel*'
kernel-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.18-53.el5.x86_64
kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.el5.x86_64
kernel-2.6.18-53.el5.x86_64

sorry lenard i forget to write it

kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8
kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-49.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8
kernel-xen-2.6.21-2950.fc8

Once again, you have to be running the 2.6.23.1-49 kernel in order for the VMWare installer to work. You may need to answer the question and tell the installer where these files are also, for example;

/usr/src/kernels/<version_number>/include

.

how do i run this kernel???

plz explain me in detail

Boot the system to the new kernel!!! You will be given th chance to do so when booting.
