Help me find the Linux kernel headers
I'm trying to install VMWare in Sabayon 8. I cannot find the kernel headers though. They're not in /usr/src or /lib/modules. Help?

install `em.
usually a naked distro installation does not have everthing installed to compile this and that. Find the needed packages within your packet management and get em installed. Do NOT use any other sources to get the packages. |

Yes, they come installed by default in Sabayon. However, there isn't any list in the package manager that indicates what files were installed where.

Ok, it wasn't the headers I needed but Sabayon's source code. I've got past that part. Now I'm having another issue. While installing the modules, VMware exits with this:
Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor failed Virtual machine communication interface failed VM communication interface socket family failed Blocking file system done Virtual ethernet failed VMware Authentication Daemon done |
I found the source code for an older kernel and got past that error. All I did was uninstall VMware, reboot in to the older kernel, and reinstall VMware.
Now I'm experiencing this error when trying to load a virtual machine: "Failed to open device /dev/vmci" I tried modprobe vmci. It didn't return any errors, but when I tried to load a virtual machine it gave me that same error again. :banghead: |
I solved it!
