I'm not sure about FC3T3, but on FC3RC5 (kernel 2.6.9-1.667), when I run vmware-config.pl, the path that it defaults to is /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build/include and everything builds fine. When all is done, vmware launches just fine, as well, but I haven't tried actually installing and/or running a guest OS in it yet. > I have built the kernel src src.rpm with rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 > kernel-2.6.spec > > then I did a symlink /usr/src/linux > > /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.8/linux-2.6.8/ > > > Anyway what am I doing wrong -- do I still need the source to build > vmware and NVidia drivers or is there a headers package ? > > Any help would be GREAT !! I'd suggest updating to FC3RC5 (or just do a yum update) and make sure there's no /usr/src/linux* directories. Then maybe vmware-config.pl will find the right place to look for the needed kernel headers. Barring that, just try plugging in /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.541/build/include when it asks for where your headers are. I've also noted in http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/readme.txt that one of the updates is udev support for vmnet, so you may want to grab vmware-any-any-update84.tar.gz from there and apply it, too. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
