I've installed Fedora 12 (KDE version) on VMware workstation running under Windows 7.
I've been able to configure the VMware tools fine up until this point:
Code:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? After some searching online I deduced I should install all of the latest updates and kernel-devel.
I then nuked the previous VMware tools install and started over with it again, but alas, no directory I try works (i.e. /usr/src/kernels/, /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686/ and so forth).
I am trying to configure VMWare tools to work with the linux-virtual kernel, but every time I supply the headers path to vmware-config-tools, it rejects it. What should I do to configure it?I am using the path:/lib/modules/2.6.35-23-virtual/build/includeBut I get the rejection message:The path "/lib/modules/2.6.35-23-virtual/build/include" is not valid.It works with the generic version, so what am I doing wrong?
I'm running BackTrack4r2 which is based on Intrepid. I'm pulling my hair out over this problem. As I try to install VMWare Server 2.0 I'm getting stuck at a question the installer poses: Where are the kernel header files located? It would make sense that they're in /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.8 but when I put that it just says there's no subfolder "linux" as expected and to try again. If I use the default location that VMWare says (/lib/modules/2.6.35.8/build/include) I get an error:
I am running a vmware on a 64 bit fedora 9. I have already installed kernel header, but the vmware could not find the kernel header, and ask to input the kernel header path. I added /usr/include to the vmware, it complained not a right kernel header.
I am using ubuntu 9.10 and the vmware player 3 was working fine. But after the kernel headers updated to 2.6.31-22 the vmware player shows the pop up and says it cannot find the kernel headers. But actually, the linux-headers-2.6.31-22-generic are installed. I tried to re-install the vmware player but with no sucess. Is there any way to correct this error.
I just installed a fresh CentOS 5.2 32bit system. I used "The Perfect Server" server document from Howtoforge and went through those steps and then added Webmin administration console. I then tried to install VMware Workstation 6.5 onto the system. I downloaded the latest VMware bundle, ran it and everything went fine. I then try to run vmware and I get the following messages
C header files matching your running kernel were not found
Before youcan run VMware Workstation, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel
Kernel Headers 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plusPAE
Kernel headers for version 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.centos.plusPAE were not found. If you installed them in non-default path you can..
I need to install some module which needs to be interated into OS's.
It asks me: "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? "
I know that I need kernel-devel package and I installed this yum install kernel-devel after that I have this /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.26-175.fc12.i686/include/
Now when I run configuration it does not work
Does it mean that I need to update the kernel so that it matches to the kernel-devel module available in the net?
I am using Fedora 12 with VMWare Player 3. I want to install the vmware tools. To get them properly working i need the location of the kernel header files. In which directory are they usually stored?
I just had a hard drive failure on my mythtv box that I had been running F14 on. I reinstalled F14 and just got about everything up and running like normal again except that I upgraded the kernel by mistake when I was upgrading everything else to current levels. The problem is that I run a hauppauge pvr150 on this mythtv box, and the code for capturing on this card is broken on the latest kernel version. I have the kernel headers and development files installed for the newest kernel that I can't really use, but I didn't install the kernel headers for the older kernel before the upgrade. Now, I am looking for a way to forcefully install the older kernel development files so that I can compile my the proprietary nvidia drivers against it for my adapter. I downloaded the rpm files from the fedora 14 repository directly. Is there an option for rpm that I can use to force the installation?
i have a c++ program and i tried to run it using gcc command and it gives header files error i got the header file now but dont know where to place those files?can any one got the idea??? we could not place header files in usr/include folder!
I am trying to install VMware on my machine. I have downloaded VMware and I am now trying to configure it. After accepting the EULA, the program states;
Code:
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] y Then;
Code:
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/bin/gcc The path "/usr/bin/gcc" is not an existing directory. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?[/usr/src/linux/include] How do i find where the C header files are?
When is it good to use separate translation units and object files and link them into the main C program, and when is it good to include the header files in the main C program? I don't understand if most people include header files or if most people just link in object files and use their contents in the main program. It's sort of a simple question, but it's confusing to me and that's why I need help with it. I sort of don't understand the difference, or if there's really no difference other than the way the final result is achieved, which way is better or preferred, etc...
For example:
Code:
or:
Code:
Simple explanation of the difference? or which one is preferred or better? I've read a little on the ELF format... so is there no difference in the end result? It's just a matter of preference or necessity, and where the information is to begin with?
I tried to update the header files manually in the include folder, because I thought that I needed to have windows.h etc, but now nothing compiles and I get a good 80 errors for even hello world. I have tried removing g++ and all related packages, deleting the header files folder and reinstalling, but it reinstalls the broken files. Any way of restoring the originals without reinstalling ubuntu?
I am new to linux. I want to use a header file asm/msr.h. But the /usr/include does not contain the header file that I want. Can I just copy the whole asm directory into the directory /usr/include, and overwrite the old one?
I've started using the huge.s kernel and when i try to compile packages slackware complains about kernel headers but all i see is the smp header files on the slackware discs ?
i was trying to install iftop using make installso when i ran /configureit told me that some header files are missing and some modules aaare also missingis there a way to search for the missing header files on the internet and missing modules n the internet
I have been using VMware Player for some time to host Fedora VMware images on Windows XP. I have been using Fedora 11 and 12 (both 32 and 64 bit) and recently started to use Fedora 13.
I use as a base the images provided by thoughtpolice. http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/
I usually install VMware tools and also keep the images updated (yum update) which sometimes changes the kernel.
I have recently had problems with the snapshots not having a network when I restore them. So far I don't have the problem with Fedora 11 and do have it with Fedora 12 (but used not to). I do have it with Fedora 13.
In each case the problem goes away when I uninstall the VMware tools and comes back when I install them again.
One of the symptoms is that SElinux complains about not being able to do something with /var/run/vmware-active-nics.
It looks to me that something is incorrect in the actions being taken when the snapshot is being restored. It does not happen every time and sometimes the network restores itself.
The network can be restored by rebooting the image.
I want to use kmalloc() to allocate contiguous memory on ram. But I can not seem to find the required header file(s) like linux/slab.h. I suppose I do not have the required library and I certainly do not know what and where to look.
I have been a predominant Windows user for a long time but shifted to Ubuntu recently. I was just trying out a few basic C functions when i realized that the "conio.h" header file isn't included in the libraries and therefore i was unable to use the "clrscr()" function.
I downloaded a tarball which contained the necessary library and header files including conio.h. Once extracted, i specified the location and included in the program as " #include "path to the header file" ".
I still didn't call the "clrscr()" function, and it compiled successfully. Next i edited the program to call that function and it gave the following error...
I have written a simple library and ended up with a .so file. I have a header file from writing the code that describes how to use the functions in the source code I have written. I think this .h files needs to be available to other programs that access this code.
I have seen lots of tutorials on how to copy the .so file to the relevant directories and make links with the version number. What I can't find is where to put the header file so that any programs I write to use my new library can access the header.
Hope this makes sense. For example, I might use <stdio.h> normally, I will need to access <mylibrary.h> once mylibrary.so is loaded (as far as I understand!)
It's weird, I've been using C compilers for embedded processors over ten years now and never given a second thought to how libraries and headers work behind the scenes!
While setup of vmware on CentOS5.4 i am facing the below error.What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your runningkernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
I am running VMware inside windows 7 64bit.I have installed ubuntu 2.8 ultimate edition on a 20gb partition and used 1gb of ram....everything is updated etc and running good. I checked in the VMware tools bar the entity tab,and says tools is not installed.
So when i run the install everything goes well untill it reaches the point where it says "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
I have tried everything,different tutorials,installed a build package etc and it still asks for the directory. here is the uname r output : uname r : 2.6.35-24-generic
I'm working with a GuruPlug...maybe you've heard of them.I'm trying to get EasyCap DC60 drivers installed on it(easycap_dc60.0.9.tar.gz), but in the README file I see that the "header files" must be present.nfortunately they are not. This little wall wart runs Debian/Lenny, probably some server oriented build.uname -r reports:2.6.32-00007-g56678ecIt boots to RunLevel 2 and stays there, incidentally.I tried apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) but I am told "file not found" or something similar
I have a program consists of header files, .cpp, .c, a Makefile and need to include the problem instances file (.tim).May i know how to compile and run them? From google, i have heard bout the command make.
Development Package X has a header file that includes another header file, provided by package Y. But package X doesn't have the requires set to dependupon package Y.
Do you know any tools to check which packages has missing dependencies ?
