Hi all,

    VMware (2.0.1 and 2.0.3) refuses to compile/install as it says :

"What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] "  <-- this is the corrent location.....

I hit "enter" to confirm the path... It responds with:

"The directory of kernel headers (version 2.2.17-21mdk) does not match your
running kernel (version 2.2.17-21mdksecure). Consequently, even if the
compilation of the module was successful, the module would not load into the
running kernel."

I could not find any other headers (and I assume there would not be
anyhow)... How can I over come this problem?? What is the difference between
2.2.17-21mdk and 2.2.17-21mdksecure kernels??

Thanks for any help,
Shane.
