hey all,
I have a Fedora Core 3 default installation, kernel version 2.6.9-1.667. I'm trying to run my Windows from within my Linux-box. I just installed VMWare and ran it.
This gave me a message saying that I have to (re-)configure vmware-config.pl. I, therefore, ran vmware-config.pl, and had this interaction with it on the command line.
Code:
[root@r57h63 madiyaan]# vmware-config.pl
Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped.
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
grep: /proc/ksyms: No such file or directory
grep: /proc/ksyms: No such file or directory
grep: /proc/ksyms: No such file or directory
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules 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] 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] /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/source
The path "/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/source" is an existing directory, but it doesnot contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as expected.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/source/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 location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The final error message that I get is this:
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.
I searched a bit online and tried to apply this patch:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.9/2.6.9-ck1/
But I can't figure out how to apply it to my system. Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
