    VMware tools install with new Kernel

    Hi,

    After updating to Kernel 2.6.18-294.8.1.el5.lve0.7.32ent, I am unable to compile VMware tools. I get the following error

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

    This is the devel kernel is installed. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Make sure you install kernel-ent-devel RPM, as you are running enterprise kernel

    Also, see this guide, there is a small patch that needs to be applied.
