google opensuse chromium guest os - what is the location of the directory of C header files ?

i am getting these problems with a google opensuse chromium guest vm !

1) Your kernel was built with gcc version 4.3.2 while you are trying to use /usr/bin/gcc 4.3 !

AND

2) What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel ? /usr/src/linux/include !

i've used yast2 to install developer bundles and kernel developer bundles (200M+) but to no effect !

PS

it is happening on both mac osx vmware fusion hosts and wvs vmware player hosts !

i might have cracked it ! by using yast to update google opensuse chromium kernel !

so kernel version now exactly matches kernel header version !

after using yast to install latest kernel AND latest kernel source i can finally get vmware-toolbox to work on google opensuse chromium chrome os (AND i get a correct error/warning msg from vmware-install.pl) !

 


What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?


[/lib/modules/2.6.27.39-0.2-default/build/include] 


apart from a gtk warning which i get on most distros !


# vmware-toolbox &
(vmware-toolbox-gtk:6369): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "glide",
