Re: Installing VMWare Server 1.0.3 on CentOS 5

["Tom Bishop" <bishoptf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mark this is a running problem with fedora, and I don't think that vmware has released an update for RHEL5 yet, so what I would do is go look for vmware-any-any-update* patch and run this when trying to compile vmware server from your host.  Here's a link to a post that leads to the patch 
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=635622&#635622 , I think eventually vmware will come out with a new version that will compile correctly and I suspect it will be in the next release but this should work for now.  I always run fedora core for my host o/s and have to use the patch everytime, I use centos o/s for my guests...go figure, in my main box I run myth and its easier to get eorking with fedora...:)  Hope this helps.

I was in the process of installing VMWare Server 1.0.3 via the tarball I downloaded from their site.  When it asked for the C header files for my installed kernel (2.6.18-6), hey could not be found.  When I initially installed CentOS, I made sure everything was included, so I am at a loss why they can not be found.  I haven't tried installing it via the RPM, but I don't think it will make a difference.  Any and all thoughts are appreciated.  Thanks!
