I installed kernel-headers using yum since during the installation of vmware-tools I get a message
"Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not a
valid path to the 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 kernel headers. Would you like
to change it?".
I have following packages installed
- kernel-tools-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
- kernel-tools-libs-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
- kernel-devel-3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64
- kernel-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
- kernel-headers-3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64
Then again I tried to install the vmware-tools, getting same message
Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not a valid
path to the 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 kernel headers. Would you like to
change it? [yes]
Enter the path to the kernel header files for the 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
kernel? /usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64/include/linux
I have tried below paths
- /usr/include
- /usr/include/linux
- /usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64
- /usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64/include
But vmware-tools tells me none of them are valid paths to the kernel headers. Surely, one of these had to be the directory vmware-tools is looking for?

Try doing a uname -a to find the exact version of the kernel you're running, and then installing the EXACT matching headers. For example: kernel-headers-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64.
