+ | < | ||
+ | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running | ||
+ | kernel? [/ | ||
+ | </ | ||

+ | |||
+ | To fix this, run the following: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel | ||
+ | uname -r | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Make note of your kernel version. | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | vmware-config-tools.pl | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the kernel source directory is there and still you are getting this error, edit / | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | #define UTS_RELEASE " | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | Run vmware-config-tools.pl | ||
+ | It should now find the appropriate directory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Alternate: ===== | ||
+ | Another solution, if you are having problems with VMware tools, is to install open-vm-toolbox along with its dependencies. | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | yum -y install open-vm-toolbox | ||
