[Planetlab-users] fedora kernel C header files

[Ting-Fang Yen]

I installed the kernel-devel rpm file found at http://build.one-lab.org/4.2/rc13/planetlab-4.2-rc13.1lab-f8-32/RPMS/i686/ that placed C header files under /usr/src/kernels/. 
This helped me solve the problem in the previous post, but VMware starts to complain again when it is building the vmmon module:

Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config5/vmmon.o': -1 Operation not permitted There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the set of C header files you specified and your running kernel.  You may want to rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

There are many kernel-devel rpms at http://build.one-lab.org, how can I find out which is the right kernel-devel package to use? Should I just use the one in the latest version (rc18)?


Thanks,
Ting-Fang
