hi, i had the same prob. do "make cloneconfig" and "make" which creates module.symvers under /usr/src/linux. vmware-config.pl shd then work. (btw - i use suse 9.1) ernest. Tage Danielsen wrote:

This note was posted on Saturday: Read it carefully and it should solve your problems.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Install the kernel-source files through YaST. Then try again.
That is just the first step, and is not enough: rpm -Uhv kernel-syms-2.6.8-24.i586.rpm cd /usr/src/linux cp ../linux-obj/i386/default/.config . cp ../linux-obj/i386/default/Module.symvers . make prepare vmware-config.pl I just did this, and the compilation went without any error. Cheers, Leen
