Help!: vmware tools config failure, can't find kernel header for my OEL UEK

789249Nov 8 2012 — edited Nov 8 2012
Hello vmware gurus:

I'm installing vmware tools for my ODL 6.3 64-bit guest and vmware config fails because my kernel-header does not match my OS

kernel shown from uname -r: 2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.x86_64
kernel packages installed:
[root@oel2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel-uek
kernel-uek-firmware-2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.noarch
kernel-uek-2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.x86_64
kernel-uek-headers-2.6.32-300.38.1.el6uek.x86_64
kernel-uek-devel-2.6.39-300.17.1.el6uek.x86_64cess
yum could not find kerhel-euk headers for 2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.x86_64
I executed the sed command per another thread but it always errors on location of the C header files.
/lib/modules/2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.x86_64 has a build directory but its empty
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-300.38.1.el6uek.x86_64 has the libraries but the installer says 'it will not load into the running kernel'

Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Maria
