I'm trying to install vmware workstation, but get during installation the
following errormessages:

The directory of kernel headers (version 2.4.20-4GB) does not match your
running
kernel (version 2.4.20-4GB-athlon). Even if the module were to compile
successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

Who knows what I can do, I have heard I need to edit a file and some lines
in it. But don't know which file and what to change.
I have installed the kernelsource, but this didn't help.
I have kernel Linux 2.4.20-4GB-athlon

Thanks,

Gert

Download kernel headers for your kernel version. You can find out your
kernel version by issuing a command uname -a.

In debian I use apt-get, I am not sure what you guys use in suse
(emerge may be?). That is it. It will download and unpack the kernel
headers in /usr/src/. Good luck.
