I don't know if this will help on 9.3, but it worked for me in 9.2. I will try
it on my 9.3 eventually. Here is the important stuff:
Please install kernel-source package and then read
/usr/share/doc/packages/kernel-source/README.SUSE. It explains (in the BUILDING
EXTERNAL MODULES chapter) two ways how to fix this.
PATH #A:
(1) Install kernel-source.$ARCH.rpm.
(2) Change to the /usr/src/linux, and run 'make cloneconfig'.
(3) Do 'make modules_prepare'.
(4) Run vmware-config.pl.
I hope this helps.

I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation for Linux, on my SuSE 9.3
system, but I'm getting errors, when it's trying to build new modules.
I have the latest kernel and kernel-source. Here's the output of the
relevant part. I've also shown the contents of the /usr/src/linux.
Any ideas?
tnx jk
