The VMTools required installation of kernel headers for Fedora Core 9, after a bit of head-scratching, I managed to find it. This is done by Googling on compiling kernels and kernel headers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Downloaded and installed the kernel-header package. Restart the vmware-config-tools.pl. This time around it accepted my kernel headers, it just doesn’t like the version of it. It kept complaining of @@VMWARE@@ UTS RELEASE does not match my current kernel version. There are several people that have encountered this. Unfortunately, the fix for this is for Linux version of VMWare server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, after reading about the different distribution of Linux, I have decided to try running Centos 5 as a guest. Since I already have the disks from a failed personal project to run VMWare server with Centos 5 as a host. It would be a simple matter of allocating disk space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I made sure the gcc compiler and libraries are included. VMTools went in as smooth as a Windows applications install. Detected a version difference, asked for gcc and kernel headers, accepted, compiled and installed, all in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
