VMWare server will install on CentOS 5 without the need of the any-any patch. The symlink is all that is required and the kernel-devel packages. When going through the configuration script, it when it cannot identify where the sources are it will then prompt you for a new location whilst showing the current search location.

I was in the process of installing VMWare Server 1.0.3 via the tarball
I downloaded from their site. When it asked for the C header files for my installed kernel (2.6.18-6), hey could not be found. When I initially installed CentOS, I made sure everything was included, so I am at a loss why they can not be found. I haven't tried installing it via the RPM, but I don't think it will make a difference. Any and all thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

Once you have the kernel-devel package installed, I believe you need to make a link called /usr/src/linux from the actual location of the kernel headers. Sorry I can't be more specific. I did that a month or so ago, and I'm not at that machine right now. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
