Hello carmers, 

trying the 2.6.24.7.ccrma-rt kernel, I am running into problems with recompiling vmware drivers. I remember similar errors when trying the 2.6.24.3  kernel earlier. 

I've got to admit that I probably won't try to change the code etc - it's a bit beyond my scope. But if someone has advise on how this'd be fixed - great. Otherwise, I'll just lean back comfotably on my 2.6.22...

Cheers, Erik

Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

In which directory do you want to install the theme icons? 
[/usr/share/icons] 

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a 
.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications] 

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon? 
[/usr/share/pixmaps] 

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Player is suitable for your 
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for 
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] 

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? 
[/lib/modules/2.6.24.7-1.rt3.2.fc7.ccrmart/build/include]
