Dear everyone,

I'm just installing VMware 5.0 on my new P4 machine where I installed 
SuSE 10.0 64bit (kernel 2.6.13-15-smp). After doing usuall steps like:
   install kernel source
   cd /usr/src/linux
   make clean
   make cloneconfig
   make prepare
   vmware-config.pl

I got errors:
...
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

What did wrong? Isn't 64bit supported by VMware?
Any help appreciated!
