Kernel headers...

I am trying to setup vmware myself (I don't want to use AUR I want to do it myself) and I would like to know where the headers are located. I can't seem to find them for the life of me.

I found them at /usr/src/linux-2.6.27-ARCH but it says:
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.27-ARCH) does not match your
running kernel (version 2.6.26-ARCH).  Even if the module were to compile
successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

Which is correct. Why do I have headers ahead of my kernel?

Re: Kernel headers...

They are in /usr/include/linux/* if kernel-headers pkg is installed.
Some of them are also placed into /usr/include/asm/*, /usr/include/video/*, /usr/include/sound/*, /usr/include/mtd/* and /usr/include/rdma/* as well

PS. I was mistaken earlier, sorry

Have you rebooted after the kernel upgrade ??
