VMWare tools on Ubuntu Server 10.10 kernel source problem
- by Hamid Elaosta
After install and running the vm-ware config, the config needs my kernel headers to compile some modules, ok, so I'll give it them, but it just won't work.
It asks for the path of the directory of C header files that match my running kernel.
If I
uname -r
I get
2.6.35-22-generic-pae
So I tell it the source path is
/lib/modules/2.6.25-22-generic-pae/build/include
and it returns
"The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.35-22-generic-pae).
..I'm confused? can anyone offer suggestions please?
I installed hte kernel source andh eaders myself using
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
