First, go to /usr/src/linux and do make cloneconfig, make prepare, then run vmware-config.pl. Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 9.3, Kernel 2.6.11 PolarBar Mailer 1.26

You do not need the kernel source (i.e. the .src rpm), you need kernel-sources package to be installed. After you have it, follow Ed's instructions. Cheers -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)
