Hi, this is my first message to the list. I am a new openSUSE user (openSUSE_10.2) and I am having trouble installing vmware. <snip>
should I change linux/version.h or is there another approach to solve this problem?
There is no need to change linux/version.h as you can see further below.
this is the exact output from the configuration script:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/include
The default in brackets [/usr/src/linux/include] is right answer.
The header files in /usr/include are generally for C libraries, not for the running kernel. If you do not have kernel header files in your /usr/src directory, you probably do not have the kernel-source package installed. Are you sure that /usr/include contains the header files associated with your running kernel? [no] yes
Here is again default [no] right answer.
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.18) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18.2-34-default). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
Thanks for the time! --
Hi Donato, You have to install kernel sources using YaST, and than try vmware installation again. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
