I use RH 8 ,I installed Vmware 3.2 and ran the
vmware-config.pl file
at some point he is asking for some files :

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

where are does files located?

thanks

should be there if they're not installed. if they aren't there then install the linux kernel source or kernel header package which should put them there OR /usr/src/linux(version-number)/include/linux/include

I also have run into this problem as will when i used "up2date" to redhats lattest kernel, 2.4.18-26.8.0 after that vmware and my nvidia drivers geeked out. Eventually I rolled the system back to the previous kernel, 2.4.18-24.8.0. I got my nvidia driver working again but i still can get vmware to work. I dont know if they moved the C header files or what. I used several paths to no success. In my /usr/src/ directory I can only see my src's for my 2.4.18-26.8.0 kernel which I am not using. I need the 2.4.18-24.8.0 src's. Can anyone help.

Thanks,
Greg
