1. how to updte software in redhat enterprise5

2. i too had this and installed via yum kernel-*

   when i do the vmware config tools
   this path is auto shown /lib/modules/2/6/23.1-42.fc8/build/include

   yet it fails should i be changing this and if so what does the folder look likr or is called?

3. Old topic, but early hit on google that almost worked for me except I hit the same problem as ackros. I also did:
   cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5
   sudo rm source build
   sudo ln -s ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-164.el5 build
   sudo ln -s build source

   and it worked. I think installing kernel-devel left me with broken hard links that the above steps fixed. This was on centos5.4

10. Thank you Andrew !
    Even 5 years later, it helped me :)

11. Also with centos 6.7 and 6 year after you trick Andrew work! Thanks a lot!

12. Even this fix did not appear to work for me on Centos 7. Finally, I tried the command “vmware-install.pl -default -f” and it installed. Not sure why that made a difference, wasnt expecting it to.
