I'm trying to get VMware working on 11.0. BUT when I run the setup program I get this:
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
This should not happen, what am I doing wrong? BTW I'm useing "VMware-server-2.0.0-116503.i386.rpm".
What kernel are you using?
Don't know, how do I find it?
I installed VMWare Server (I believe the same version) a couple of days ago on OpenSUSE 11.0 using the latest PAE kernel, and got the same. I let it run through the compilation process, and it built the modules it needed. Is there a reason you do not want it to build the modules?
It should also be noted that in the process of building the modules it complains that the GCC version used to build the kernel and the one installed are not the same... yet as far as I can tell... they are. Ignoring the error and forcing it to continue seems to work with no issues.
And another thing... I installed Workstation 6.5 later on the same machine (after removing Server) and it did not prompt me to build the modules.
C.
I tried to compile and got this: Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3" anyway? [no] yes What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
