Hello,
i want to install vmware 5.5 workstation on my debian linux.
This is my configuration:
ca-phlinux:/# uname -a
Linux ca-phlinux 2.6.17-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 16:34:10 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
ca-phlinux:/#
The installation now asks:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
i installed header files and kernel source with apt-get.
This is my /usr/src/ directory:
ca-phlinux:/usr/src# ls -al
total 39896

so i added "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/includeso i
tried:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/include" to complete
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/includeso i
tried:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/include
The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/include" is a kernel header
file
directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as
expected. This
can happen if the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked
the "make
mrproper" command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want
to
rebuild your kernel.
i tried the same with:

running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-486/include
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686/include
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/include
....because i don't know what the hell this is about.
i installed Debian with network installation and it works fine.
Never had to change something about the kernel.
How can i make this work ?
thnx.
Phil.
You don't say what distribution you're using. I have Sarge and
/usr/include/linux/ has a version.h.
