Vmware tools installation problem under RedHat ES 4

Vmware tools installation problem under RedHat ES 4

Hi all,

I want to use the vmxnet driver for a guest RedHat ES version 4 running
under a Vmware ESX server. To be able to use the vmxnet driver; I have
to install the vmware tools. The kernel sources are not available in Red
Hat 4, so I have install gcc, get the kernel source, install the source
rpm with  

up2date --install gcc
up2date --get-source kernel
up2date rpm-build
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-11.EL.src.rpm

But when I execute ./vmware-config-tools.pl, I receive :

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

Do we have to build the kernel to be able to install the vmxnet driver ?

Any idea ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Pierre.
