VMware: does not contain the file “linux/version.h” as expected
Error:
…
The path “/usr/src/linux/include” is a kernel header file directory, but it
does not contain the file “linux/version.h” as expected. This can happen if
the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the “make mrproper”
command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want to rebuild your
kernel.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
Solution
Check if you have installed these packages (your kernel version may be different).
linux-headers-2.6-686
linux-headers-2.6.18-6
linux-headers-2.6.18-6-686
linux-image-2.6-686
linux-image-2.6.18-6-686
linux-kbuild-2.6.18
linux-kernel-headers
