Where can I find linux-kernel-headers-x.x.x.x for SUSE?
I'm installing VMware Workstation on a SLED 11 SP1, and the installation is blocked by an error message "Kernel headers for version 2.6.32.27-0.2-default were not found". If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below. Otherwise refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions and click Refresh to search again in default locations.
The output of rpm -qa | grep kernel is
kernel-default-2.6.32.27-0.2.2
kernel-default-base-2.6.32.27-0.2.2
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.32-1.4.13
kernel-default-extra-2.6.32.27-0.2.2
nfs-kernel-server-1.2.1-2.10.1
I had met this issue in Ubuntu and I installed the required linux header via apt-get then the issue disappeared. But in SLED, I didn't find the rpm package in SUSE's software repository, and I also google "linux-kernel-headers-2.6.32.27" but did not match any documents.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
The output result of zypper se kernel | grep kernel is
i | linux-kernel-headers | Linux Kernel Headers | package
| linux-kernel-headers | Linux Kernel Headers | srcpackage
The kernel-header error is misleading - you have to install kernel-source. (After you do that, you might have to update the kernel itself, so check that afterwards.)
You can use:
yast2 -i kernel-source
