[Bill Allen <suse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Regards,
Bill
