get source for the kernel you are running - 2.2.19 and unpack it in /usr/src, then point VMware to its include directory

[/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/include The directory of kernel headers (version 2.4.13) does not match your running kernel (version 2.2.19). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. ------------------- End of message--------------------------- Apparently it doesn't like the presence of /usr/include/linux/version.h (part of libc6-dev package): /usr/include/linux/version.h #define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.13" #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132109 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) How do I get it to work. I need to compile a module, I suppose I could go through the business of upgrading my kernel .... Any suggestions would be appreciated. Note I am running the tar ball rather than the rpm since alien didn't create a package that worked. -walter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
