Hey Guys, I am having problems installing vmware. It's installed, but when I run the vmware-config.pl I go through a few steps and I get stuck on this step " What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] "
When I hit enter it keeps repeating itself with the same message, so I am not sure what it means.
Could it be that I did not install the kernel-source when I ran the cooker script?
When I ran this script below it tells me it's already installed;
You've probably updated the kernel somehow, or the cooker release you obtained was not all consistent (as is often the case for a DEVELOPEMENT release).
A problem with cooker releases is that sometimes the RPM's you need may be superceeded.
I'd really start over either with 10 (my preference until 10.1 Official is actually released) or with 10.1 CE.
Your other recourse is to find a newer kernel and kernel source and install both together.
E.G.
urpmi kernel kernel-source
and see if this gets you the same version for both from cooker.
