  • if running a 2.6.19 kernel you will need to follow this link (it’s in French)
  • if running a 2.6.20 kernel you will need this patch in addition to the above patch

    • After I applying the 2 patches I was able to compile with no problems!

    The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18.3)

    It seems that 2.6.18 defines the UTS_RELEASE somewhere else so I had to add it manualy to the version.h file in my linux headers directory

    This will work too :) 

    echo "#define UTS_RELEASE \"`uname -r`\"" >> /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
