[NTLUG:Discuss] Mandrake Kernel weirdness??

[Jack Snodgrass]

MessageYou could grab the latest and greatest kernel from www.kernel.org and
compile it and run with that. Then when you built the vmware stuff, 
you'd have the right kernel headers to go with what your running.

  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
