Even though VMWare's error message makes it sound like one of these "set of all sets that are not subsets of themselves" logic problems, what the brain-damaged install script wants to find is the path /sbin/init.d/init.d and under /sbin/init.d/ it also expects to find rc0.d through rc6.d This means that in /sbin/init.d you should mkdir this extra init.d directory and also all directories rc0.d through rc6.d that don't happen to already be there because SuSE doesn't happen to use them. When you have mkdir'ed all these required empty subdirectories under /sbin/init.d/, then the VMWare script will operate correctly. There had to have been a more intelligent way to set up the install, but at least VMWare generally works once the install is done. Cheers, --Kevin On Sun, 1 Apr 2001, Purple Shirt wrote:

You can't get it to install under 7.1.
The question of their perl install script:
What is the directory under which the init scripts reside (it should contain init.d/, and from rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? /etc/init.d
The path "/etc/init.d" is a directory which does not contain a init.d directory.

The path "/etc" is a directory which does not contain a rc0.d directory.

The answer always fails. =(
