I am trying to start VMware player, and it wants to rebuild it's kernel modules. This has usually worked ok after a kernel update. Unfortunately, it is not working now. The VMware log only contains the kernel command, and not the error messages. So I am doing the same by hand (command is the one vmplayer lists in the log when it tries this):
I wound up having to untar the driver sources in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source, and adding a link in their various include files as follows: ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.4/include/stdarg.h . Then, the modules built ok. I tried making a link in the kernel includes (it was a kernel include file that was making the reference, after all), That failed with some errors. Now I can run VMPlayer. Next step is to get the network working again. My IP address changed on the host machine. And I am not using eth0 for this network. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
