Install kernel-devel in Linux

To solve this problem, you need to install the development kit that is compatible with the system kernel.

View kernel: uname-R

Kernel header file C header files:

Http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php? Query = kernel-devel

Note:
When installing VMware Tools, if you are prompted that you do not have permissions, you need to use the CHMOD 777 file name to add permissions, such as prompting that the vmware-install.pl has no permissions, then use the following command:

Chmod 777 vmware-install.pl

Below is my fc9 installation demo, my kernel version is 2.6.25-14. fc9.i686, so select kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm when wget.

You need to check your kernel version and select the correct Kernel on the above URL.

Important:

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
