User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100626 SUSE/3.6.6-1.2 Firefox/3.6.6 During the course of 11.3 Betas, RCs and Final only one had the headers findable, RC2. VMware will Install -but- when you try to execute it /usr/bin/vmware it will search and come back with C headers not found. From reading the Forums, I am not the only one having this problem. Another of our group, http://forums.opensuse.org/members/silenuz.html presented a way of doing it manually in the forums at message: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/applications/442058-vmware-... -but- that should not be required. Not everyone is "computer literate". VMware is a fine product and we need to keep it usable. I like telling my "Windows friends" that I run Windows "inside" Linux!! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install openSuSE 11.3 with GCC, make, kernel-source and kernel-syms 2.After Linus system is operational, Install VMware. 3.After VMware is installed execute: /usr/bin/vmware 4.Wait a couple of minutes, or less, for resutls. Actual Results: See attachment, but if I blow it, it basically says that it could not find headers matching the running kernel. Expected Results: A working VMware. The VMware compiles can be done manually as follows:(courtesy of silenuz) cd ~ rm -rf vmware-modules mkdir vmware-modules cd vmware-modules find /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source -name "*.tar" -exec tar xf '{}' \; mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/{vmblock.ko,vmci.ko,vmmon.ko,vmnet.ko,vsock.ko} cd vmblock-only; make; cd ..; cp -p vmblock.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmblock.ko cd vmci-only; make; cd ..; cp -p vmci.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmci.ko cd vmmon-only; make; cd ..; cp -p vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmmon.ko cd vmnet-only; make; cd ..; cp -p vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmnet.ko #cd vmppuser-only; make; cd ..; cp -p vmppuser.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vmppuser.ko cd vsock-only; make; cd ..; cp -p vsock.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/vsock.ko depmod -a service vmware restart #If a new install, remove the not_configured tag or the error will keep coming back rm -f /etc/vmware/not_configured -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
