[Solved] Vmware environment

Hi hi !

I recently downloaded vmware on my archlinux,
But when attempting to build environment, this happened :

[root@Hackedia ]# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Failed to setup build environment.

I installed all the required dependencies :
linux-headers 4.8.2
fuse 2.9
gtkmm 2.24
gtkmm3 3.20
ncurses 6.0

There is my kernel version :
GNU/Linux 4.4

Edit : When running vmplayerm a popup appears with this text :
"C header files matching your running kernel were not found.  Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions."

I might forgot to install a basic package ?
I check the wiki to install whatever the kernel need to build vmware environment.

Re: [Solved] Vmware environment

Let me get this right:
You have a 4.4 kernel but headers for the 4.8 kernel?
When was the last time you ran 'pacman -Syu'?

Re: [Solved] Vmware environment

I solved by downloading the right linux-headers for my kernel :
pacman -S linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Thanks !
