Dear Adrian:

Please see my VMWare Installation procedure below. As you can see VMWare refuses to give me a default directory for the "C header files".

Can you help, please?

Thank you.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server 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]

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]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

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 not an existing directory.

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

Did you follow the instruction in Wiki? Including installing kernel heades and making that symlink described there?

Dear Adrian:

My thanks for pointing out my error. I failed to see the prerequisite section. I followed the instructions and VMWare installed flawlessly. I am now installing WinXP in the VMWare virtual machine.

Thanks again.

Benjamin

You are welcome, glad that it worked.

I'm trying to install VMWare on a fedora-5 box. But I'm facing a problem. I keep being ask for This Question.

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

And when I answer by indicating /usr/src/linux/include It tells me that this the file of folder doesn't exit.

Can you help me with this pls.
