I'm trying to install vmware-tools but Fedora Linux v12 prompting for kernel headers. How do I install kernel headers under Fedora Linux?
You need to install the following two packages:
- kernel-devel : Development package for building kernel modules to match the kernel.
- kernel-headers : Header files for the Linux kernel for use by glibc.
Type the following command as root user to install required packages:
# yum -y install kernel-devel kernel-headers
Once installed type the following command to configure vmware-tools client package:
# vmware-config-tools.pl
