[NTLUG:Discuss] Mandrake Kernel weirdness??

[Matt Caldwell]

Yes.  I have gcc and make installed.  VMware asked where my headers
were.  I gave the location, and it says that the headers are not the
same as my kernel.  I'm thinking of starting with a fresh install of
Suse and then trying to go from there.  For some reason, Mandrake or I
selected the wrong things during this install.  I had to DL gcc, and
make .

do you have the gcc compiler? Did you let vmware try and re-build it's
modules?

I tried installing VMware last night, but it couldn't find the header
files for my kernel.  My kernel is 2.4(something)-26.  The header files
on my system are for 2.4(something)-34.  That is what was installed on
my PC.  VMware won't install unless these match.  When I downloaded and
tried to install the header files for #26, it won't take because #34 is
already in there.  Is there any "NICE" way to remove the #34 headers, or
fool VMware into seeing the correct header files??
 
Thank You,
Matt Caldwell
