Guest Roces Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hey, after spending hours of looking, does anyone here know how to install vmware on mandrake 10.1 CE? after installing the rpm, I run vmware-config.pl, first time it asked me for the compiler, so installed that, now it is asking: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] what are these headers, where can I find them, how do I use em?: HOW DO I CONTINUE MY INSTALLATION?

devries Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Do urpmi kernel-source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 know what's weird... I've done 3 kernel updates and each time vmware says that I need to compile my own kernel because the kernel source is not equal my running kernel the last which worked for me was some 2.6.3-2 I think p.s. all kernel updates and source downloads done through urpmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarian Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi, have you tried vmware-any-any-update83. I had sim probs, then d/l'ed this from VMware & all was well... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> oh, YES, thank you, thank you, thank you :D :D it works now I had no idea of this patch existing thanx!! p.s. although for some strange reason [user@localhost vmware-any-any-update84]$ vmwareXlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 but it works with root, so all is good I think it has to do smthing with me messing with XF86Config-4 to get my radeon drivers working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
