It said it needed the kernel source, it didn't say it needed the "latest" source. Congratulations! You just turned your finely crafted Enterprise Linux into a Frankenstein of mixed components. As was said before, "All the pieces are your's to keep".Ralph Angenendt wrote:Thanx, I have already updated to the latest kernel and installed kernel-devel, and I'm busy installing gcc. This is on a vanilla install of CentOSRudi Ahlers wrote:Besides, VMWare & Virtualbox needs it to install properly on the system, what do you tell them? We won't support you, so your programs won't work on our system?VMware and Virtualbox both work fine with kernel-devel installed. You have to have the correct kernel-devel version for your running kernel, though. No need for kernel-sources to run those applications.

<rant>One thing about the support that is given on this forum... You have to actually listen, and follow the advice given.
Yes, sometimes the responses get a little terse, but these are people that are here giving away something they are more than qualified to charge for, out of the goodness of their hearts. They also have day jobs, families, stress, headaches, and whatever else might affect a person and make them a little short or angry sounding some days. These are human beings here, this isn't alt.heaven!
Now off of the soap box and back to work... I have a headache!! ;-P </rant> -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
