Kernel headers path
« on: January 19, 2010, 04:59:35 PM »
While trying to install VMWare Workstation 7, I got the following error:
Kernel headers for 2.6.27.31.tex5 were not founf If you installed them in a non-default path you can specifiy the path below.

I got this error with kernel-2.6.27.31.tex5 kernel headers installed. I Then installed kernel-2.6.27.31.tex5 source code and got the same error, so I reinstalled kernel-2.6.27.31.tex5 kernel headers.

uname -r gives 2.6.27.31.tex5, so I am thinking the running kernel and the headers match.


Can some one let me know how to specifu the path to the kernel headers.

Any and all help appreciated.

install a package called "glibc-headers-devel" and try again
.. 3 things are certain in life : death, taxes and software bloat ..
.. tell me something i don't know, something i can use as i struggle to reason with the world around me ..

glibc-headers-devel is already installed.
