During the vmware tools instalation on a CentOS 7 MV (running on ESXi 5.5, tools version VMwareTools-8.6.5-621624) I have the next problem:

Searching for a valid kernel header path...
The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.10.0-327.4.5.el7.x86_64 kernel
headers.
Would you like to change it? [yes]

I know that this problems is common. Normaly I solve it executing:

yum install kernel-headers
yum install kernel-devel

export kernel_headers=`ls -hd /usr/src/kernels/3*`

sudo ln -s ${kernel_headers}/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h ${kernel_headers}/include/linux/version.h

But this time, the error persist. The target MV is a critical mail server, and I can't reboot it. Any ideas?

Thank you very much.
