今天同事在XP里安裝了VMware（5.5.1 build-19175），然后在里面安裝了紅旗6 SP1，內核版本是2.6.23.1-4，我給他安裝vmware-tools，運行vmware-config.pl時遇到問題，雖然給了正確的kernel headers文件目錄，但還是提示類似這樣的錯誤：

The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.23.1-4). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

后來在網上搜索到這篇：

Well, VMWare tools sometimes fails to install into a Linux guest with recent kernel.

The error is something like this: The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18.2-34-default). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

With this bug you cannot sync the time with your hosting server, automate shutdown tasks, etc… This problem exist because the kernel source code structure is changed in recent kernels (I guess > 2.6.18). The VMWare tools installation scrīpt is looking for the string “#define UTS_RELEASE $kernel_number” into /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)*/include/linux/version.h but the UTS_RELEASE variable is now into the file utsrelease.h.

To fix this, you can patch the VMWare tools installation scrīpt or just add the content of utsrelease.h to version.h. I suppose the second solution is the fastest one
