issues loading vmware 1.06 on centos5
 

Hello

I get this when loading vmware 1.06 on centos5:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

I typed this: /usr/include

And got this:

The header files in /usr/include are generally for C libraries, not for the
running kernel. If you do not have kernel header files in your /usr/src
directory, you probably do not have the kernel-source package installed. Are
you sure that /usr/include contains the header files associated with your
running kernel? [no]

Yes I am new to linux and am studying for cert. I Have no experience with it and now I have to use it as an OS.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Toren

Hello and welcome to LQ. What you want is to install the development package for your current kernel. Try running 'yum -y install kernel-devel'. Provided you run one stock kernel with one development package the directory to point VMware to you then can find running 'rpm -ql kernel-devel | head -1'.

[EDIT]Please check the VMware site. 1.0.7 has been released addressing security issues. Updating seems the prudent thing to do.[/EDIT]
