Hi Frnds

I dont know where to post thread for fedora so here i am posting

I have fedora 15 with kernel-2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64.It was previously kernel-2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64 which i updated today through Yum.After than i restarted with new kernel and installed wine-1.3.35-1.fc15.x86_64 through yum.Wine configuration windows is opening and i can add application there.Now the problem is my Wine desktop is not opening.It opens for 5 sec and then disappear.I want to install Vmware on that.I tried to install vmware on my fedora 15 aslo but its showing following error even downloaded header also.

"kernel header for version ..... were not found.If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below"

Please help me any of the above case as i want to run vmware on my fedora 15.
Thank you

you only updated the kernel, not the kernel header files. maybe the kernel headers aren't even installed. so make sure to install the same kernel header files for your kernel.

yum install kernel-headers
3

its showing "Package kernel-headers-2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do"

4

so try this:

yum install kernel-devel
5

i have installed kernel-devel and now vmware not showing that message.But at the time of Kernel Module updator unable to find the virtual network cared as well as showing Error -

"Unable to start services.see /tmp/vmware-root/modconfig-5857.log"

Here is the result of logfile -
