Fedora Core/VMware tools, manual install help
Running a FC21 vm on ESXi 5.5 and I need to install the tools. But it's hitting a roadblock on the correct path to the kernel headers. I've googled and tried all I can find but on this system there is not path: /lib/modules/<uname -r>/build/include/linux The build subdir is a sym link to /usr/src/kernels/<uname -r>
What am I doing wrong?

Yup.. I've installed the headers and kernel dev packages. However this might be cause for concern...
Then..
[root@localhost 4.1.5-100.fc21.x86_64]# cd /usr/src
[root@localhost src]# ls
debug kernels
[root@localhost src]# cd kernels
[root@localhost kernels]# ls
4.1.13-100.fc21.x86_64 4.1.8-100.fc21.x86_64
[root@localhost kernels]# uname -r
Then..
[root@localhost kernels]# yum install kernel-headers
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Package kernel-headers-4.1.13-100.fc21.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[root@localhost kernels]# yum list kernel
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Installed Packages
kernel.x86_64 3.17.4-301.fc21 @koji-override-0/$releasever
kernel.x86_64 4.1.5-100.fc21 @updates
kernel.x86_64 4.1.13-100.fc21 @updates
that first output is missing the last line from the uname command

Crap sorry about that, here you go:
[root@localhost kernels]# uname -r
4.1.5-100.fc21.x86_64
