Welcome to my world

I’ve used VMware on Fedora since it because free. It’s great, No more rebooting to switch between Windows and Linux to use one application that just won’t work with WINE. Since upgrading to FC6, I have a problem running vmware-config.pl. Each time I ran it, I’d get error about config.h not being found. The simple (dirty) way to fix this is to do this:

touch /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`-`uname -m`/include/linux/config.h

You should now be able to re-run vmware-config.pl without a problem.

Remember that you’ll need to do this each time you update the kernel.

Update I had a nightmare of a time getting this to work on a dual core Intel. It seems the Duos use i586 rather than i686. To fix you need to install the correct kernel devel version wget ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/fedora.redhat.com/updates/6/i386/kernel-devel-`uname -r`.i586.rpm
rpm -Uvh kernel-devel*.rpm then link to the correct linux.htouch /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`-i586/include/linux/config.h

Update 2 I think I’ve found the cause of the above weirdness. Read More

Just a quicky for anyone that was a bit pissed that FC6 didn’t include Firefox 2:

yum --enablerepo=development install firefox

Have fun!
