Does this mean that we do not have to "save" vmnet.o and vm-somethin.o from the 144 version, as suggested in an ealier post? Dimitris On Thursday 29 January 2004 14:32, Alex Angerhofer wrote:

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.
and don't forget to *not* install the vmware modules that came with vmware when you run the vmware-config.pl script, or if it does that automatically, replace them with your own freshly compiled ones.
Alex.
