Hello everyone. I'm trying to install VMware Server 1.0.3 on a freshly
installed and completely patched SLES 10 SP1 box. I've barely even
touched the thing and already there are problems. Here's what I've done
so far:
1) Added kernel-source, gcc, gcc-c++ and make.
2) Executed the following three commands from the
/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.53-0.8 directory: make mrproper, make cloneconfig
and modules_prepare.
3) vmware-config.pl ends with the following:
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.16.53-0.8-smp) does not
match your running kernel (version 2.6.16.46-0.12-smp). Even if the
module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running
kernel.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If I just did an online update,
how are my kernel and kernel headers not the same version? None of the
following have worked:

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
John
