Installing VMWare fails trying to MAKE vmmon module.

Hey Arch users, thanks for reading. I've tried this on two different machines now. Both of which yield the same error. I untar vmware like and run the vmware-install.py script after creating the rc0.d through rc6.d directories. It works up to where it tells me there's no vmmon modules for Server that're suitable. It then asks em if I want to have the script build them and well the rest is in between the code brackets:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/build/include]

Now, I've tried the any-to-any patch, or at least the latest version I could find. It gives me other similiar "________ is not defined" errors and still doesn't build. I made sure that all three of the xlib files are up to date, as well as xinitd and base-devel and still I'm having this problem. I frankly don't know where to go from here. Is it something I've left out of ALL of my Arch installs?

Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL and running into an error

All
I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.13.*.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message :
before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:
kernel headers 2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1ELxenU
kernel headers for version 2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1ELxenU were not found...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Anil

Thanks Avi for the pointer.
I did a 'sudo -su ' and ran 'rpm -ivh kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.EL.i686.rpm' and it went through successfully.
But then when I launched VMPlayer, a popup came up saying " Before you run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.". I clicked on 'Install' to continue.
Another popup came up saying "Failed to run /usr/bin/vmware-gksu '/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig' --icon='vmware-player' --appname='VMware' --gcc='/usr/bin/gcc' --headers='/lib/modules/2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELxenU/build/include' --gcc-ignore-minor as user root. Failed to exec new process. No such file or directory."
And then I had to exit.
This is the log contents when VMPlayer was run :

Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL 4-kernel 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELhugemem

All
I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.1.2-301548.i386.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message:
before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:
kernel headers 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem
kernel headers for version 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem were not found...
I've already searched both on google and on Oracle website for a package containing this version of kernel headers, but didn't find them.
I've did an up2date -i kernel-devel, some kernel headers got installed, but it seems they are at the wrong version:
[root@dscdap01 ~]# ls -la /usr/src/kernels/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 4 2008 ..
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 1 09:42 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-i686
As far as I can see, I have two paths for solving this:
1: update the running kernel to 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686 - in order to do that I'll have to restart the machine, which is quite risky because this is an important machine used for many projects and I do not have physical access to it; in case something goes wrong I'll have to make an SR to the GIT guys, and pray for a quick resolution
2. find this particular version on kernel headers (2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem), install them in a non-standard location and then point vmplayer installer to that location in order to compile and plug them into the running kernel
Questions:
- If I choose the 2nd path:
-- where can I find this particular kernel headers version?
-- after vmplayer compiles them, will it request a machine restart, or plugging them into the running kernel will be possible without restart?
-- I already did an up2date -u, so the entire system excepting the running kernel is updated to whatever is in Oracle's internal repositories. Will this conflict somehow with an older running kernel and modules?
-If I choose the 1th path (update the kernel itself and reboot the machine):
-- will then vmplayer be able to compile and install the kernel modules without asking for another restart?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Any idea is appreciated, even pointing me to someone in Oracle that might help (I am an Oracle employee) would be useful.
Regards
Serban

Thanks for your reply Joe. I did not realise that I shall search for the package name without "ELHugemem" part since the headers are probably the same. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
So I downloaded the i686 package, but now I get this message:
[root@dscdap01 ~]# rpm -iv kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
warning: kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 82fd17b2
Preparing packages for installation...
package kernel-devel-2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL (which is newer than kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL) is already installed
I am not sure if I shall do a "rpm -ivf" for this package, forcing it to install. Will this command install the package alongside the existing one, or will it overwrite it? My guess is that it will install it alongside the existing one, but since this system is an important one I would prefer to ask before doing any stupid mistake...

Jabber for windows - periodically tries to re-install and fails. After install Jabber works for awhile but then when trying to open another program(Outlook, IE Explorer) it tries to re-install. If I go to the directory where the install files are and do repair it works. This seems like a conflict with another application.
I see this in the Windows application event log:

Hi,
Do you have WebEx Productivity plugin installed on the machine? I can reproduce this problem after exiting Jabber, creating a One-click meeting from Outlook and restarting Jabber. Please provide further information to help me open a defect.
- What was the version of Jabber on this machine prior to 9.1.0?
- What is the version of the WebEx productivity tool plugin (if it is installed)?
- Is there a particular sequence that you can follow to reproduce it everytime?
Thanks,

Controllers in the same WISM module in the 6500, i'm trying to make one of them anchor controller for guest internet

I have 2 controller in the same WISM module and I'm trying to make one of them Anchor controller for guest WLAN, but when I give put the anchor controller in a separated non-routed VLAN and connect it to an outside switch by creating VLAN 192 on the core. ( the Internet router is connected to the same switch).-it is showing path down... ( VLAN 192 visitor Internet and VLAN 224 my internal controller management VLAN are not talking)
there is no routing between these 2 VLAN ( because of security), but i can't get the controller to communicate.
-if I connect my laptop to this switch I'm able to go out on Internet but my visitor WLAN is not able to get IP address from the router connected to this switch.
- I called Cisco and one the guys told me that i can leave the management in VLAN 224 for the controller to communicate ( which they did), but the issue I'm having right now is that my visitors are not getting IP addresses from this VLAN at all
some one please advise
vlan192   4/1 vlan 192              int g0/0 192.168.2.201
6500 ----- switch ---- router--------- (outside)
    |         |   |
    |        DHCP server

A couple of questions, is VLAN 192 allowed across the trunk link to the wlc? Do you have an interface tagged for vlan 192, with a valid address? What is providing the DHCP?
Cheers,
Steve

I Am trying to make an "in app" purchase when I press buy it tells me that I have already downloaded this purchase, then I get a message that the purchase failed. How can I resolve this issue?

When an app is downloaded under an Apple ID it is permanently tied to that Apple ID. The only option is to de
Ete and then download under your Apple ID.

I have contacted Corel and after several emails and one telephone call, they tell me , they cannot help but they think the problem could be with the OS.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please ?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

I am trying to install vmware fusion and during the install it continues to ask for the admin password to install.

I am trying to install vmware fusion 5-1.0.2 on osx 10.8.2 and it just keeps asking for the admin passoword for the computer. I keep putting it in with no luck. I have installed other programs with no issues.

If yours is the only user account on the Mac, it will have Admin privileges by default, so just type your password. Provided the installer is legit (i.e., downloaded from VMWare's servers and not some shady place), it needs Admin privileges since it needs to add stuff in the innermost folders of the OS for virtualization to work.
If your user account does NOT have admin privileges, you will need to have someone who does install Fusion for you. No way around this.
