Hello all I am hoping that someone can provide me with some advice about the missing header.h file issue I am encountering when trying to install VMware-Workstation on V12.3 # Issue When VMware-Workstation starts and tries to compile its required internal modules I get the following error: C header files matching your running kernel were not found. # How to reproduce I did a fresh installation of v12.3 x86_64 this morning using the openSUSE-12.3-DVD-Build0094-x86_64.iso Then I did a zypper up and tried to install the lastest version of VMware-Workstation (VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.1-894247.x86_64.bundle) # Comments As I recall in order to build an out-of-kernel driver, you need to have the proper kernel headers installed. kernel-desktop-devel-3.7.9-1.1.2.x86_64 is installed but /lib/modules/3.7.9-1.1-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h does not exist in the same place as on V12.2 Has the "linux/version.h" changed directories or do I need to install another programme in order to get it? VMware-Workstation works fine on V12.2 and I have compared V12.3 and V12.2 below ############### V12.3 ############### # [3.7.9-1.1-desktop] VMware-Workstation installation programme : START... # OS Info: Linux M2N32 3.7.9-1.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 21 16:15:10 UTC 2013 (8dec968) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # Listing the versions of installed packages... kernel-source-3.7.9-1.1.2.noarch kernel-desktop-3.7.9-1.1.2.x86_64 kernel-desktop-devel-3.7.9-1.1.2.x86_64 gcc-4.7-7.1.1.x86_64 make-3.82-154.1.1.x86_64 gcc-c++-4.7-7.1.1.x86_64 # Making sure that the kernel headers exist before installing VMware... # /lib/modules/3.7.9-1.1-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h ERROR: /lib/modules/3.7.9-1.1-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h was not found... ############### V12.2 ############### # [3.4.28-2.20-desktop] VMware-Workstation installation programme : START... # OS Info: Linux Sabertooth 3.4.28-2.20-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 29 16:51:37 UTC 2013 (143156b) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # Listing the versions of installed packages... kernel-source-3.4.28-2.20.1.noarch kernel-desktop-3.4.28-2.20.1.x86_64 kernel-desktop-devel-3.4.28-2.20.1.x86_64 gcc-4.7-2.1.1.x86_64 make-3.82-151.1.2.x86_64 gcc-c++-4.7-2.1.1.x86_64 # Making sure that the kernel headers exist before installing VMware... # /lib/modules/3.4.28-2.20-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h # Checking to see if /lib/modules/3.4.28-2.20-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h exists... /lib/modules/3.4.28-2.20-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h exists...
