This issue is about installing vmware workstation/player as the hosting virtualization platform.

Most probably it cannot cope with the new 3.1.0 kernel. Could you send me the whole output from Makefile (not just the last few lines) and at the same time I suggest you to open ticket in VMware bugtracking software and post the link here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
