Hi,
I started my installed vmware, and it told me I had an update, do you want to update? I said yes, I downloaded VMware-server-1.0.6-91891.i386.rpm, run "rcvmware stop", then "rpm -U VMware-server-1.0.4-56528.i386.rpm".
Er, why have you downloaded the 1.0.6 version and then installed the 1.0.4 version of VMware server? There must surely be more to the output of vmware-config.pl than simply 'Execution Aborted'?
I haven't. I installed version 1.0.6, I have no idea where the 1.0.4 comes about. Yagh. Maybe the second time I tried I installed the wrong one. Thick fingers!
You'll definitely need perl, make, gcc, and kernel-source to get this to work. I would guess that you have this as you've already had it working previously. Other obvious points are does your kernel-source match your running kernel?
Yep, everything is correct. In fact, vmware-server is running right now, but 1.0.4. Ok.... I'll try again. nimrodel:~/download_updates/Propietary/vmware # rcvmware stop Stopping VMware services: Virtual machine monitor Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 Virtual ethernet nimrodel:~/download_updates/Propietary/vmware # rpm -U VMware-server-1.0.6-91891.i386.rpm Unable to stop VMware Server's services. nimrodel:~/download_updates/Propietary/vmware # rpm -q VMware-server VMware-server-1.0.6-91891 nimrodel:~/download_updates/Propietary/vmware # rcvmware start VMware Server is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel.

The problem right now is that "rcvmware stop" does not stop everything (although it claims to work), and I have to reboot in order to run "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" because it refuses to run. [rebooting] Ok, I run the configure script (while in runlevel 3), then started the console without running "rcvmware start", and this time it worked. It has been 3 attempts with two reboots. - -- Saludos Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIUsA+tTMYHG2NR9URAmWJAJ4j9lRVenJ2nSv4e237c93EQilCawCfWs5F ScOTqAOuhKEeInWIzkIHs7s= =BlyH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
