Does anyone have vmware working with SuSe 9.2 x86_64 yet? I followed this the directions at http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/07/fhassel_vmware91.html when I was running 9.1 and it worked fine. Now I am unable to compile the modules. I'm running the following. 2.6.8-24.3-default #1 Tue Oct 26 14:40:54 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Well, found a fix for my problem. I grabbed the latest patch from this location and everything worked after that. ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update84.tar.gz ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update84.tar.gz Their readme specifically states support for x86_64 in many previous versions. dave wrote:
