Hi...

I have Vmware-GSX Server installed in Slackware12,the installation is Ok !! but run vmware-config.pl, in question --> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match yor running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

Reply /usr/src/linux/include, output of vmware-config.pl

The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.21.5-smp). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

I not understand, in have my Slackware have packages

ls /var/log/packages/ |grep kernel
kernel-generic-2.6.21.5-i486-2
kernel-generic-smp-2.6.21.5_smp-i686-2
kernel-headers-2.6.21.5_smp-i386-2
kernel-huge-2.6.21.5-i486-2
kernel-huge-smp-2.6.21.5_smp-i686-2
kernel-modules-2.6.21.5-i486-2
kernel-modules-smp-2.6.21.5_smp-i686-2
kernel-source-2.6.21.5_smp-noarch-2

Somebody have idea ?

Thanks.

It appears you have two kernels installed, yet the headers are for another kernel. You have these two kernels:
kernel-generic-2.6.21.5-i486-2
kernel-generic-smp-2.6.21.5_smp-i686-2
Then you have headers for a different kernel=(i386)
And you also have source for the smp kernel. I think you should decide which kernel you prefer and clean house a little to make sure you're booted up with the right kernel and you don't have misleading links.
Try booting up the smp kernel and remove the header package, maybe the kernel build directory will then be symbolically linked to the source package. Or if that don't work, install the "smp-i686" header package. There's a difference between i386, i486 and i686, the version of the current running kernel, is the version of headers you need.
