Kernel headers of the running kernel - vmtools install on Oracle Linux

884396Aug 24 2011 — edited Jan 4 2012
Hello!


Having a little trouble installing VM Tools or Oracle Linux. The vmware-install.pl script runs fine with the defaults until:

"Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not valid.
Would you like to change it? [yes]"

I've tried digging around the forums but this problem doesn't seem to have been discussed.

Other notes:
The results of uname -r: 2.6.32-200.16.1.el6uek.x86_64, but if I go look in the /usr/src/kernels/ directory I find "2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64." This may have something to do with the problem?

Attempted already:
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64/include
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.x86_64 /usr/src/linux

Any ideas?
