Any ideas?

This just came up a few days ago. See <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-07/msg02451.html>

Hi Randall,

That was a problem with installing vmware on an openSUSE 11.0 system.

What Shawn is trying to do is to install openSUSE 11.0 under vmware which is already installed on 10.3.

I am having the same problem. I told it to go ahead and compile anyway. Then it came up with:

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is a kernel header file directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected...

and would not go beyond that.

I created a file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h which had one line:

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.25.11-0.1-default"

where the 2.6... matched the output of 'uname -r'

The problem with the compiler number is that the output of:
gcc -dumpversion is 4.3 whereas
gcc --version shows 4.3.1 (prerelease) which is probably why they don't match.

vmware-config-tools.pl looks at 'gcc -dumpversion'

So just answer yes to the gcc version question.
