I am trying to install kernel-headers
using yum
since during the installation of vmware-tools
I get a message asking for the path to the kernel header files for the 3.10.0-229.7.2.e17.x86_64.
Running yum install kernel-headers
returns Package kernel-headers-3.10.0-229.7.2.e17.x86_64 already installed and latest version. But the directory /usr/src/kernels
is empty.
Are the kernel headers installed somewhere else? Or should I be asking yum
to install something else?
Path provided to vmware-tools for kernel headers
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.10.0-229.7.2.e17.x86_64 kernel headers.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
Providing the path /usr/include/linux
gives the same response again but with "" replaced with the path provided.
rpm -ql kernel-headers
; I think it puts files in /usr/include/linux, but I may be out-of-date. It'd be good if you could indicate what path you give to the vmware-tools installer and also what it reports back.
