Fedora Installation :: What Is The Path To Specify Kernel-headers For VMware
Jul 11, 2010
I've installed F13. Installer has set:
kernel-PAE-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686
kernel-headers-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686
Installation of VMware Workstation was ok, but at first launch it ask me for path of
kernel-headers-2.6.33.3 Why I have different versions of kernel and kernel-headers? How can I make working VMware? Installation of kernel-headers 2.6.33.3 from package-manager seems impossible.What is the path to specify kernel-headers for VMware?

I have installed OpenSUSE 11.3 64 bit and want to install VMWare workstation 7.1. I have run the install script for VMWare without any issues. When I start the VMWare Workstation I get a window saying this: Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. Kernel Headers 2.6.34-12-desktop Kernel headers for version 2.6.34-12-desktop were not found.

I've been trying to install Vmware Workstation and keep getting an error about Kernel Headers missing! Although I am pretty sure I have the headers installed for my system. It's looking for the PAE version of my headers which I believe it doesn't exist!

I am trying to install vmware and i am getting an error:
Code:
Unable to build the vmmon module.
I guess they are not in /usr/src/linux/include (I also tried /usr/src/linux-2.6.29.6/include).

2.6.18-194.8.1.el5xen is the reported kernel that I'm running while the headers that are installed are listed as 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-i686. I assume these are the same, or at least close enough that it shouldn't matter.
However, when I run vmware-config-tools.pl to configure it it says it cannot find the kernel headers. I've tried pointing it to /usr/src/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-i686/ and /usr/src/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5-i686/include (not sure which of the two I'm supposed to do as online instructions contradict one another) it says that is invalid and there seems to be no way to force it since it just complains without letting me use it anyway. What can I do? Running centos 5 btw on vmware workstation 7.

I installed VMWare WorkStation 7.x.x . When It started that I have taken "Kernel Header" error and It want to enter path of Kernel. I tried many commands ;
yum -y gcc kernel header
uname -r
2.6.18-238.19.1.el5xen
rpm -qa kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-238.19.1.el5
Actually, It uses same kernel but VMWare is not working. I searched about Kernel Headers error when run VMWare on Internet. But I couldn't solve my problem.

I have installed workstation 7 and installed f12 in it. I have tried to install the tools but it cant find the headers. I have the latest kernel 2.6.31.6-166 PAE and installed the headers and devel. I have pointed the the path to /lib/modules/2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE/build/include and /usr/src/kernel/2.6.31.6-166-fc12.i686.PAE/include and it wont take any.I have searched google and the forums and all i find is you need to install the devel and headers which i've done.

Ive also tried downloading RPMs to a usb stick and it said it was the wrong ones for my machine.
How do i find out if my machine is x32 x64 x86?
Anyway im trying to install kernel headers and devel from the fedora installation disk but i dont know how to get to the cdrom thru terminal as i cant copy the RPMs to desktop by drag n drop or using software installer.
I dont have an internet connection to the pc so i cant use yum (which would make things so much easier) so can anyone tell me how how to install these packages thru terminal?

I've just installed clean copies of both VirtualBox v4.0.8 and Fedora 15. Now I have followed the instructions here : [url] to install the latest VBox guest additions.
Each time I try I get the following message:
The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason. The missing package can be installed with
yum install kernel-devel-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686.PAE.
However, if I run that command I am told there is no such package available. The guest addition installer continues seemingly OK, but after a restart they are not loaded.
I've just moved to Fedora from Ubuntu due to major issues with its new version.

I've installed Vmware Workstation and tried to run it only to have the following appear;
Kernel Headers 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i586
Kernel headers for version 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.i586 were not found. If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below etc.......
I've tried to search and find the kernel headers but can't find them.

Does anyone know the kernel-headers location, or how to determine that location, in Fedora 13? I'm installing vmware-tools and it's prompting for it. /usr/include/ and /usr/include/linux/ were revealed to have many header files, as shown by doing rpm -ql kernel-headers
However the installer rejected these locations. My only guess as to why is because they're not where the currently-running kernel has them. I also tried /usr/src/kernels/(kernelversion).fc13.i686/include/ with no luck...

Where do I obtain this? I have the i586 kernel and I need the i686 kernel to run VMware. I beleive this may be the pottential reason virtualbox wasn't working too.

where you only get offered the kernel-headers for 2.6.35.11-83 by yum but not the kernel or the kernel-devel? I tried yum clean all and both pointing to the baseurl and mirrorlist and it does the same thing for both. Oddly my other laptop with F14 in the wireless cafe showed all three packages were available.

I'm building a Kernel on System A to use on System B. I've followed the walkthrough on [URL], and I get the following rpms:
kernel-debuginfo-common-i686-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
kernel-firmware-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
kernel-PAE-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
kernel-PAEdebug-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
kernel-PAEdebug-debuginfo-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
kernel-PAEdebug-devel-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
kernel-PAE-debuginfo-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.30.8-64.hymerfania_dbg.fc11.i686.rpm
What I don't get are any
kernel-headers-<version>.<arch>.rpm
Files. Don't I need them to rebuild modules and drivers on System B? Otherwise, how should I copy my new headers to System B? BTW, System B crashes when I try to build the Kernel on it, that's why I'm building debugger Kernels on System A.

I am trying to install a piece of software that uses an install.pl script which looks to /usr/src/linux/include/ for my kernel headers...but it never finds them or that directory/link.
I've run "yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers" so I am pretty sure they are installed.
My "rpm -qa | grep kernel" returns code...
What am I missing?

from what I understand kernel-devel does not bring in ALL the header files for install modules. so what i would like to know is how to install true headers instead of using kernel-devel. I found one tutorial, but it was way out of date.

The problem is that I need to use kernel headers like <linux/interrupt.h>. However, those files do not exist in folder /usr/include/linux. Thus, compilation fails. On the other hand, the files exist in folder /usr/src/kernels/2.6.30.10-105.2.4.fc11.i586/include/linux.
How can I get the missing headers into proper place in /usr/include/? I even tried coping, but extra files are then needed and so on.
I tried to use "make menuconfig", but I couldn't see a missing configuration I need.
I also tried to use " yum install kernel-devel". This tells me "Package kernel-devel 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 already installed and latest version Nothing to do".

Last night at 1:47 AM yum installed the current version of kernel-headers on my RHEL5 server:
Mar 17 01:47:47 linux1 yum: Updated: kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.i386
Mar 17 13:47:22 linux1 syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
This locked the server up until I could physically get to it this afternoon and reboot the server. I then finished downloading and installing the new kernel, rebooted again, and the server appears to be running fine.
This is the second time this has happened on this server.
Has anyone else seen this problem when you setup yum to automatically update your servers? Other than manually updating servers, does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep this problem from happening again?

Before 2.6.35-23 released this packages is present in the system:
i A linux-headers-2.6.35-22
i A linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic
i A linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic
But after automatic update to 2.6.35-23 updater install just linux-image-2.6.35-23-generic without headers. In result kernel modules of nVidia driver not compiled and next boot X server can not start.
Now I can install 2.6.35-24 image and headers by hands, but how to explain updater not forget to update headers next time and why this problem occurs?

currently I'm using a kernel from kernel-mainline [url], because thermal won't work satisfying with the shipped kernel from ubuntu and would like to install tp_smapi (including modules hdaps and thinkpad_ec), but the installation failed, because the system pretending, that kernel-headers missing.
Code:
Results in telling the system, that kernel-headers are installed.
Code:
But then the upcoming dialog-box of module-assistant telling me, that the kernel-headers are not installed and therefore installation of tp_smapi fails.

I'm trying to install VMWare server on Ubuntu 10.10 and I can't pass the step where I'm asked to write location of C headers.
I've installed kernel-devel, linux headers and build-essential
I've downloaded kernel-devel via google, and linux headers by writing this command:
Code:
I typed right location and the installation won't continue, and asking me again and again to write this location.
In my case, this location is: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-23.generic/include .

Yesterday, I think I did something stupid: I removed kernel-headers, gcc, glibc-devel and glibc-headers. My box is a CentOS 5.4 webserver (it has loads of packages installed, but that was done through Virtualmin config, so it's quite coherent all in all). The thing is that now I need to reinstall at least the headers and glibc, but hey! this is what I get :

For example, the linux kernels I have installed are:

Also, the linux-headers packages I have installed are:

So, when I get around to removing the linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 package like this:

I would expect apt-get to automatically also remove linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common. Is that what will happen, or do I need to explicitly state all three packages on the apt-get remove command?
