Where Have All The Headers Gone?

English Applications
#1

Greetings All,

A recent kernel update seems to have misplaced the Kernel Headers.
VMWare needs these headers and cannot find them. Attempting to
run VMWARE gets the message:

Kernel headers for version 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop were not found.

Does anyone have any idea where they might be hiding?

Thanx in advance.

Rich

Kernel-headers is a package to be seen by YaST > Software > Software management. But when it was installed allrady earlier, it will still be there.

linux-kernel-headers with a different version - openSUSE Forums

Chances are you want kernel-source- or kernel--devel- matching your running version. linux-kernel-headers is intended for compiling user space programs. When compiling drivers you want the source (which includes internal header files).
