3. Download the correspondingKernel-devel.rpmPackage Installation

The kernel version of Alpha ora13 Alpha is:
2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686.pae
It is:
Ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/test/13-Alpha/Fedora/i386/ OS /Packages/kernel-devel-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686.rpm
Note: different versions can find the corresponding files on this website.

----- If the network is smooth, run [Yum-y install kernel-devel] and install it on 6 MB.

 

[Root @ localhost Tian] # rpm-Q kernel-devel
Package kernel-devel Is Not Installed
[Root @ localhost Tian] # rpm-IVH ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/test/13-Alpha/Fedora/i386/ OS /Packages/kernel-devel-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.i686.rpm

[Root @ localhost Tian] # rpm-Q kernel-devel
[Root @ localhost Tian] # kernel-devel-2.6.33-0.52

Tip: After installing kernel-devel, restart the computer, because the kernel detected by the system is still the kernel version at startup.

4. re-run the VMware configuration file

[Root @ localhost bin] #/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl

 

 

Note:

This problem also occurs when centos is installed on Vmware.What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?"

According to the above scheme, you only need to run the command"Yum-y install kernel-devel", Install" kernel-devel...

In addition, the GCC compiler is not installed by default for centos desktop installation. Similarly, we can run the command"Yum-y install gccOnline installation.
