[opensuse-amd64] 10.2 64-bit and VMware tools

Hi! Just installed 32 bit version 10.2 under VMware (the free server) during weekend. Now I tried to install 64-bit version also. I ran into problems... has anybody done this? My problem is that I can not install the VMware tools. Rpm, installs, but the script doesn't work even as well as it did with 32-bits. (Again, I have installed, gcc, binutils, kernel sources, make.) When I run the vmware-config -script and it tries to compile vmhgfs, I get: "The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running lernel (version 2.6.18.2-34-default). Even if the module were to compile succesfully, it would not load into the running kernel." "What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]" ... and answering with return to that just gets me back into the same loop. And as I can not get by that, the rest of the script isn't run either... and I can not get the VMware Tools installed. What to do? -- HG. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help@opensuse.org

Hi, I think that the problem is with the VMware version. I had have a similar problem after kernel update that i had solved upgrading VMware. Bye, Miguel. On Mon, 2006-12-11 at 15:50 +0200, HG wrote:
