Dear friends:

Using Centos 5.

I am trying to install the VmWare Server in my Centos 5 in order to install Windows XP. I am asked for the location of the C header files directory:

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

A) first install them...

   # yum install kernel-devel

B) list where they landed...

  # rpm -ql kernel-devel | grep /include/ | more

note they are NOT in /usr/src/linux/include, rather, they are in some path like /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-i686/include ... and in fact, there IS no /usr/src/linux ... so, you might just want to do something like...

   # ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.EL-i686  /usr/src/linux

so that you can use the assumed default path. Note, with c5, this path is undoubtably different.
