[opensuse-factory] VMware workstation (v8.0.4 build-744019) works on RC2 once patched.

4 Aug 2012

      Hello

Workstation 8.0.4 build-744019 was working fine on v12.1 but when I 
installed it on a fresh install of v12.2 RC2 I had vmnet compile errors.
I googled for awhile and found a solution - see below
