It's not really an error.  I had the same thing with the latest version of
VmWare on my install.  Just use the defaults, and it will build it quite
nicely.  I am using the stock SuSE 7 kernel too.  VMWare does have a
specific build for SuSE but it is an older version in 6.4.  It will build
nicely Dee.  Depending on your install, I use Konquerer to transfer files
between the systems..  VMWare will set it all up using a virtual Samba,
etc. They really did a nice job on it.  .
