toolbox:

⬢[xiaguangbo@toolbox ~]$ sudo dnf install kernel-headers
Last metadata expiration check: 2:15:36 ago on Sat 05 Oct 2024 08:30:57 PM CST.
Package kernel-headers-6.10.3-200.fc40.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

But I don’t know where kernel-headers is.

You probably want to install the kernel-devel package.

Also installed.

⬢[xiaguangbo@toolbox ~]$ sudo dnf install kernel-devel

find this pkg

⬢[xiaguangbo@toolbox ~]$ sudo find / -name "*6.10.3*" 2>/dev/null
/run/host/sysroot/ostree/repo/refs/heads/rpmostree/pkg/kernel-headers/6.10.3-200.fc40.x86__64

But only one file.

/usr/include have kernel-headers. This directory was also tried, vmware would report errors.

kernel-headers info: https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/kernel-headers/kernel-headers/fedora-40-updates.html

Apologies, I don’t believe you can use a toolbox container to accomplish this.

I’d recommend you take a look at the below post.

Thanks
