Has anyone installed VMWare v4.0 on Suse 9.0 and if successfull what are the steps.
Luis, There have been a lot of posts regarding this in the past, and there have been a number of solutions. The one that worked for me is as follows: Firstly make sure you have the kernel source installed along with GCC, YAST should sort out any dependencies. I'm not sure if this is really required but goto /usr/src/linux and as root run the following commands: make cloneconfig make dep Go to http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1804 Here there is information on installing VMWare on the 2.6 kernel using a patch called any-any-update. Follow the instructions and you will find VMWare works extremely well. If you have the 2.4.21-166 updated kernel using Yast Online Update, make sure you have also installed the updated kernel source from SuSE. -- David Bottrill Registered Linux user number 330730 www.bottrill.org
