Anyone knows how to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on F13?

Wed Jul 14 11:40:27 UTC 2010

The VMware's script vmware-config-tools.pl asks for

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

I tried all other look like include directories, none worked except
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64/include

After searching and copying the utsrelease.h file as in the following,
I got another set of error messages.

[root at localhost xyz123]# find . -iname '*relea*'
./config/kernel.release
./generated/utsrelease.h
[root at localhost xyz123]# cp -p generated/utsrelease.h linux/

By the way, those web sites referred to towards the end of the error
message did not have much anything. Even when I was logged in.

kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
