I just posted bugzilla https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220384 #################################################### Just installed Beta 2 in a VMware.
In order to compile the Tools, the Kernel Header include files are quired. Installed the package 'linux-kernel-headers', but they are from an older kernel (2.6.18-13, while installed kernel is 2.6.18.2-4)
Also in factroy tree, linux-kernel-headers is at 2.6.18-13 ####################################################
Severity is set to normal at the moment, even though it should be much higher (but I assume as reporter I should not change that)
OR: Did I miss something completely different? (that would render that bugzilla report invalid?

I have seen this vmware-tools/kernel header not matching -problem discussed in several groups and forums concerning several distros in addition to SUSE. And not just rpm based ones. As for SUSE it has been discussed already during the 9.x series.
But I have still not found a solutions for it. I sure would like to see a solution how to install the vmwaretools properly :)
Although this is obviously not quite the right place, I'd like to use the opportunity to ask for any pointers to this matter.
Vahis, please read the Bugzilla Followup. I'm sorry for the noise I did. But it seems it's not the package linux-kernel-headers that is required, but the whole kernel-source. After installing that package, I was able to run vmware-config-tools.pl without any problems. Regards, Dominique
