[root@charon fc5]# rpm -ivh msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm
[root@charon fc5]# /etc/init.d/xfs restart

Restarting 'xfs' may not be necessary. Many programs need only to be
restarted. Some older applications, may require you to log out of Gnome
or KDE and log back in (reboot NOT required).

run vmware-config.pl and it asks me this question:

CODE
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]


now this is where my kernel source is located. However, when I select it, I get this error message:

CODE
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same address space size as your running kernel.


I'm not sure what's gone wrong. I was running 2.6.15-arch kernel, and then I'd done a "pacman -Syu", which then updated to 2.6.16-arch and it's not worked since this upgrade happened. And I can't go back, because the 2.6.15-arch kernel was removed as part of the upgrade. Bummer!

I also tried compiling my own kernel using 2.6.16.1 from kernel.org, and I did this and I still get the same problem. Unsure as to why either.

Any ideas, is this common, and how do I sort it? I've a feeling it's not distro specific perhaps.
