vmware server and kernel headers problem.

[robertos]

I have downloaded vmware server and when I try to install it it tells me that it can't find the headers for my kernel version : 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE.

I currently have the i586 headers for the version above.

Somebody told me to follow the next steps:

1. Ensure you're booted into the PAE kernel (uname -a). Run an update first and reboot to get to the newest version
2. Specifically remove any .i586 related kernel packages
3. Install kernel-pae-devel

But when i run the followin command:

rpm -e kernel-devel.i586 kernel-headers.i586 kerneloops.i586

error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-headers is needed by (installed) glibc-headers-2.10.1-5.i586
kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by (installed) glibc-headers-2.10.1-5.i586

Should I try a force or not?
Or what should I do?
Thanks!

why aren't you installing them with yum command so it takes care of dependencies?

I did not find vmware server with yum

I mean you should install the kernel headers for your running kernel using yum.
