Solution to kernel version mismatch when installing VMware Tools

When installing VMware Tools, the system prompts that C header files cannot be found.
 

In this case, follow these steps.

1. After the kernel is installed, use this command to determine the installation directory of the kernel C header:

Ls-D/usr/src/kernels/$ (uname-R) */include

2. view the kernel version:

 
[Root @ localhost ~] # Uname-R
 

2.6.25-14. fc9.i686

3. Check whether kernel-devel is installed.

 
[Root @ localhost ~] # Rpm-Q kernel-devel
 

Package kernel-devel Is Not Installed

 
4. if not installed, find the corresponding kernel-devel from the Internet, such as kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm download.
 

5. install kernel-devel [root @ localhost Home] # rpm-IVH kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm [root @ localhost Home] # rpm-Q kernel-develkernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 even so, it is still possible that C headers cannot be found !!!!!!

The solution is as follows:

Open Linux/version. h and check that the content is:

# Define linux_version_code 132633
# Define kernel_version (A, B, C) (a) <16) + (B) <8) + (c ))

Again, the version read by Vmware, uts_release! Add a line to Linux/version. h:

# Define uts_release "2.6.25-14. fc9.i686"
# Define linux_version_code 132633
# Define kernel_version (A, B, C) (a) <16) + (B) <8) + (c ))

VMware finally believes that the version of the kernel header file provided by dorainm matches.
