I have read all the messages related to problems getting VMWorkstation 4 
running with the latest SuSE kernel.

I tried the method related to using the vmware-any-any-update.tar.gz file
When invoking the runme.pl script, it failed to compile the vmmon.o module 
with the error (among others)

cannot exec cc1plus.

Installing km_vmware source and running 

make -f Makefile.module  from the /usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware directory 
also yields the cannot exec cc1plus error.

switching to usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware/vmmon-only and running make yyields 
the same error.  running make from usr/src/kernel-modules/vmware/vmnet-only 
yields no errors.

This si a clean install of SuSE 9.0 pro.  I have VmWorkstation 4.05 running 
under 2.4.21-166 on my old computer.  This si a new computer, so I can always 
start over.  Note that both computers use an AMD chip.

Any ideas would be helpful.  I am wondering if someone emails me vmmon.o and 
vmnet.o modules that work with their athlon 2.4.21-192 kernel whether I could 
use those?

Mike
