The steps I've made are the ones here: http://en.opensuse.org/Setting_up_SUSE_Linux_as_a_VMware_Guest#Set_Up_VMware_Tools_on_a_SUSE_Linux_Guest Everything is as It's says there. But the script keeps coming to this: The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18.2-4-default). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters. Seldom. And usually just once.
