Hi,

I have VMware workstation 6.5.3 which was running fine on Vista. Now I
have switched to Linux (Slackware) as my primary platform. I used the
bundle version of the installation script and the installation went
fine. Now when I try to start the VMware workstation, I get the get the
message that my kernel headers are not found. I have installed the
source, headers and the latest kernel (2.6.33). They are all there on
the system. VMware is not finding them. I spent a whole weekend trying
to get this to work. How do I get VMware workstation to work on Linux?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

NJ

As well as the headers etc you will need the C compiler. In Ubuntu,
these are installed by default. Sorry to say that I know nothing of
Slackware.

If you run the config file from a terminal window you will get better
error information.
