I'm using SuSE 8.2 and VMware 3.2. Again, as I said earlier, I have the kernel souce installed, I also have a compiler installed. The error is as follows: Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. Argument "gcc (GCC) 3" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl line 1493, <STDIN> line 3. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] Of course, the source is located in the cited directory and this keeps looping. </Jared> On Tue, 2003-06-03 at 23:11, John Andersen wrote:

I cannot get VMware to install. It's asking me to build a kernel module. I have pointed it to my kernel source directory, but still am having now luck. Has anyone had any experience with this?
You have to have the C compiler and kernel soure installed. Then it will compile the necessary modules at install time, in response to a series of questions.
Of course, we might be able to help a bit more if we got a better problem description, such as versions, what exactly constitutes "no luck" etc, etc.
