When Im trying to install th VMware server the installer asks for a location for a location were I have C header files. What to do? Code: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
You must install the kernel header files before you try to install VMware: Code: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential Also have a look at this tutorial and at the comments at the bottom: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_vmware_server
What I Did I did the following. And I get to the license and all of the license that I downloaded from VMware come up as invalid. (Running on an AMD X2 64, with Ubuntu 6.10 server) apt-get install ssh openssh-server apt-get install vsftpd (I downloaded the vmware files to my laptop the FTP them to the server once I had it created - that way if I screw it up, does not take long to reload) apt-get install libx11-6 libx11-dev libxtst6 xlibs-dev xinetd wget apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential apt-get install gcc binutils-doc cpp-doc make manpages-dev autoconf automake1.9 libtool flex bison gdb gcc-doc gcc-4.0-doc libc6-dev-amd64 lib64gcc1 create the directory /var/vm (this enables the FTP to download files from your local computer) Edit the vsftpd.conf file anonymous_enable=NO uncomment local_enable=YES write_enable=YES tar the files and do the install, see <How To Install VMware Server On Ubuntu> located on this site
