vmware-config-tools.pl doesn't work after installing vmi-enabled kernel in SUSE 10 SP 2

[tomfrench34]

I have recently updated my SUSE 10 SP2 to VMI enabled kernel download from Novell. Now I can't run vmware-config-tools.pl it is not finding C header files that match my running kernel. I get following error message "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? "

Following is my kernel version

Linux 2.6.16.60-0.33-vmi #1 SMP

Please let me know what i need to do to successfully run vmware configuration.

Hi,

I think you've to install the c++ compiler that matches your kernel version...

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points for "Correct" or "Helpful". Thanks!!!

What VMware product and version are you using?

You need the kernel-headers package which EXACTLY matches your running kernel - version AND type.
