Quoting James Knott <james.knott@rogers.com>:
I'm trying to install VMWare Workstation for Linux, on my SuSE 9.3 system, but I'm getting errors, when it's trying to build new modules. I have the latest kernel and kernel-source. Here's the output of the relevant part. I've also shown the contents of the /usr/src/linux.
Any ideas?
tnx jk
If this is Workstation v5, then here is what I did on my SuSE 9.3 box to get it running. I've done this a couple of times and has worked without a hitch: Install from YaST: (accepting all dependencies) - kernel-source - kernel-syms - gcc As root, open a terminal window and run: vmware-config.pl It will fail at the same point you stated, at which point you need to note what kernel source directory is prompted by the script. Open another terminal window and run: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.xxxxx/ where xxxx is the directory vmware-config.pl prompted you with earlier. Now run: make oldconfig && make ** This will take a while, so be paitent Now run the vmware-config.pl script again, accepting all defaults (or changing as required). run vmware from your desktop!" Good luck! SteveC
