Hy people,
Im triying to install vmware tools that come with esx server 2.5, and there is no way i get them working, when it tries to compile the modules like vmxnet i get compilation errors in all of them. I have installed the kernel sources to get the headers, and all the rest of developers rpm needed gcc,bin-utils, etc.
Has anyone made them work???
Thnx ALl.
Hi Ali, did you do the following on your guest SLES9 before trying to build the tools? cd /usr/src/linux make oldconfig make prepare # adepts the config from the running kernel and prepares the kernel for build, but # does not compile the kernel. Then try it again, hope that helps, Markus
