OK I know this has probably been asked a hundred times and I should be
searching the archives but that would take me a while to get caught up
with all these changes in FC3T3. I have been very used to doing things
the old 2.4 way like kernel-source-- anyway 


I am trying to install VMware 4 on FC3T3 and it can't find the header
files
 
"What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux
The path "/usr/src/linux" is an existing directory, but it does not
contain at
least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as expected."

I am running 2.6.8-1.541 #1 Wed Sep 1 18:01:20 EDT 2004 i686 athlon i386
GNU/Linux

I have built the kernel src src.rpm with rpmbuild -bp --target=i686
kernel-2.6.spec

then I did a symlink /usr/src/linux >
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.8/linux-2.6.8/


Anyway what am I doing wrong -- do I still need the source to build
vmware and NVidia drivers or is there a headers package ?

 Any help would be GREAT !!
