How to install Vmware in FC5?


when I am installing Vmware in FC5,I meet some problem.Now I want to how to install it.the problem is following.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is a kernel header file directory, but it
does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected. This can happen if
the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the "make mrproper"
command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want to rebuild your
kernel.

thanks a lot in advance!

You will need to install the kernel-devel-*.rpm where * is the current running kernel you are running. To see which you have use the commnad ' uname -r ' Now download the kernel-devel rpm that matches the version you are running. Also you need to run the .runme.pl file from the vmware-any-any-tool from http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/ You need to use this with new kernels that come with fc5. It will modify the kernel source and then automatically run the vmware-config.pl file when it finishes.

Do a search here on installing vmware for more details if needed.
