It looks like there's no kernel configuration file (.config), try doing a: make cloneconfig This should query your currently running kernel config and generate the correct ".config" file for you. Then try it again. If that fail try doing a full "make" or make modules/make modules install/make install Cheers -----Original Message----- From: Bill Allen [mailto:suse@ballen.fastmail.fm] Sent: Monday, 4 October 2004 12:19 a.m. To: suse-amd64@suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] Problem compiling vmware driver Hi. I'm trying to install vmware on suse 9.1 professional for amd64 as the host OS. When I run vmware-config.pl I get the following. Any ideas on what is wrong. I have seen that there are people who have gotten vmware to work for this setup, so I suspect that I'm just missing a package or something. Any help appreciated.
