What kernel are you using?
Don't know, how do I find it?
Asking it. :-p
cat /proc/version uname -a rpm -qa | version
or fire up yast and search for the kernel.
C.
I tried to compile and got this:
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler
Ignore. Bug from vmware.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is a kernel header file directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected. This can happen if
¿Did you prepare the kernel sources?
install kernel-source (and perhaps kernel-syms)
cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make scripts make prepare
OK, I did this, but it still does not work. See below. I'm not dumb, but I've not worked with the kernel in years. Could you (or someone) give me a simple 123 list of what to do to get this !"§$§§ thing working? Thanks, JIM
