Trying to setup VMWare on a Fedora 8 installation. When running the

Pressing return gives the following:- "The path "/usr/src/linux/include"
is not an existing directory." And amazingly, it's right. It doesn't
exist.
So, where the hell would I find the location of the C header files?
You need to install the kernel source package and ksyms[1] from your install
CD. If you have updated the kernel, then find and install the sources for
your running kernel.
You'll probably find that VMWare is still not playing ball, so seek out the
vmware-update-any package and run that.
That little lot sorted it for me. You may find it breaks on every kernel
update. Just run vmware-config.pl after each update and it works again.
I've been playing about with VirtualBox from Innotek recently. Its free for
personal use, works very well and doesn't require scratching about updating
and modding packages.
The only things I had to install were a pair of shared libs, xerxes and
xalan[1].
I use it for running Win2k. Reasonably quick, seems stable ( but so is
VMWare ) and it seems to thrash the page file less than VMWare.
HTH
[1]Running OpenSUSE 10.2 not Fedora. YMMV.
