When installing VMware on Fedora 5 Vmware is looking for the location of the C header files
When installing Vmware for linux on Fedora 5 I get a msg asking for the location of the C header files. I hit enter for the default directory ie /usr/src/liux/include but it says it's not a existing directory? Please help?

Hi,
I had the same problem, and what i did was that, first i install VMware and then i had to isntall vmware-any-any-update100, it will find the /usr/src/include by it self. But you have to intall the Kernel.SRC first and then you install vmware, and before config run the vmware-any- update
You can go in the http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ and find the source.
and then you do teh
yum install kernel-devel
and thats it

If you type the following you should get the kernel development files:
yum install kernel-devel
If it asks for a location of where you kernel is located input /usr/src/kernel/<kernel version>
if it dosnt ask it should automatically detect the location.
