Hi,

Did already somebody of you try (and succeed) to install / run vmware 6.5 workstation on a openSUSE 11.1 host?

So far I get: - installation using RPM works (well, it only installs the bundle and starts the bundle install... so duh...) - starting vmware gives a segfault when it tries to startup -> Modules can't be built

- I extracted all the modules in the modules/source folder, compiled them all manually... this works, EXCEPT for the module vsock, where I get 4 warnings and I won't be able to modprobe it later (The warnings are: WARNING: "VMCIDatagram_CreateHnd" [/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vsock-only/vsock.ko] undefined! WARNING: "VMCIDatagram_DestroyHnd" [/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vsock-only/vsock.ko] undefined! WARNING: "VMCI_GetContextID" [/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vsock-only/vsock.ko] undefined! WARNING: "VMCIDatagram_Send" [/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vsock-only/vsock.ko] undefined! )

Anybody of you having more luck with this?

How were you trying to launch vmware? If as a regular user, then module building would fail.

Do:

kdesu vmware or gnomesu vmware

Depending on what DE you're in.

This will launch and build.

I am running vmware on 2.6.27.2

Ben, This is simply not true. VMware Workstation 6.5 has a mechanism to ask for root password in this case and take over from there. Nevertheless it segfaults out (well.. for some reason a module segfaults)

From the previous mail, in plus, I wrote that I can compile every single module except vsock.ko, which fails out with the warnings as stated.
