What is the location of the directory of C header files that match

 安装VMware tools时，一路Enter，出现问题：

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

找不到，郁闷，网上一搜，需要安装kernel devel包
先查看内核版本号
[root@localhost ~]# uname -r 
2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q kernel-i686-devel
package kernel-xen-devel is not installed




这是i686的内核，所以，要安装对应版本号的 kernel-i686-devel rpm包：


下载地址：http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/7201713/com/kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm.html（把它放到网易邮箱的网盘里去了，免得以后需要的时候找不到，mark一下）


安装：
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.rpm


完成安装后，在/usr/src/下已经多出了一个kernels目录
[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/src/
[root@localhost src]# ls
kernels redhat


中断安装，重新./vmware-install


 


安装vmware tools步骤：


Install VMware Tools in a Linux Guest
Before you begin, make sure the virtual machine is powered on and the guest operating system is running.
To install VMware Tools in a Linux guest
1  On the host, select VM > Install VMware Tools.
If an earlier version of VMware Tools is installed, the menu item is Update VMware Tools. If the current version is installed, the menu item is Reinstall VMware Tools.
2  On the guest, log in as root.
3  If your Linux distribution does not automatically mount CD-ROMs, mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.
a  If necessary, create the /mnt/cdrom directory:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
b  Mount the CD-ROM drive.
Some Linux distributions use different device names or organize the /dev directory differently. If your CD-ROM drive is not /dev/cdrom or if the mount point for a CD-ROM is not /mnt/cdrom, modify the command to reflect the conventions used by your distribution.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
4  Change to a working directory (for example, /tmp):
cd /tmp
5  If a previous installation exists, delete the previous vmware-tools-distrib directory. 
The location of this directory depends on where you placed it during the previous installation. Often it is placed in /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib.
6  Uncompress the installer:
tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-<x.x.x>-<yyyy>.tar.gz
The value <x.x.x> is the product version number and <yyyy> is the build number of the product release.
7  If necessary, unmount the CD-ROM image.
If your Linux distribution automatically mounted the CD-ROM, you do not need to unmount the image.
umount /dev/cdrom
8  Run the VMware Tools installer.
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
Respond to the questions the command-line wizard displays on the screen. Press Enter to accept the default value. The configuration file, vmware-config-tools.pl, runs after the installer file finishes running.
