Hi,

I just installed suse 11.1 and wanted also to install vmworkstation 6.5.0 but when starting asked for gcc witch a installed, and then i got the question for Kernel Headers 2.6.27.7-9-pae.
I can’t find where to install these package?

How i install that?

Try

zypper in linux-kernel-headers

However if you are compiling a kernel module requiring the internal API, then try

zypper in kernel-source

Hi
You need linux-kernel-headers, kernel-source and kernel-syms

I have done all and when running VMWare for first time, it is looking for my kernel-headers.
“kernel headers for version 2.6.27.7-9-pae were not found.”

What up with that? If I look in /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-9-pae/build
I see one file called “Module.symvers”.

How do I fix this so I can run VMware?

Thanks!

Hey
I reached the same problem and was fixed.
if you already installed the kernel-source, check the version. you may need to downgrade it to 2.6.27.7-9.

In my case, I downgrade the kernel-source to 2.6.27.7-9, and VMWare could complied successfully without any error message.

i guess, system should find the dernel-source first, if not found or version not match, it would look for Kernel Headers instead.
