I'm trying to install vmware on FC9 with the 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64 kernel, and it fails to build the kernel module. I have tried the vmware any any patch with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions?
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel?
/lib/modules/2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64/build/include
