I figured out the problem. There was a zero-length file named "not_configured" in /etc/vmware. I deleted this file and the configuration worked fine. On Fri, Jun 22, 2001 at 04:38:31PM -0500, Robert C. Paulsen Jr. wrote:
Hi,
I just installed SuSE 7.2 and can't get vmware to configure properly. Here is a transcript:
=============================================================================== # ./vmware-config.pl Making sure VMware's services are stopped.
Stopping VMware services: Virtual machine monitor done Virtual bidirectional parallel port done Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done Virtual ethernet done
Do you want this script to automatically configure your system to allow your Virtual Machines to access the host filesystem? (yes/no/help) [no]
Do you want to be able to use the network in your Virtual Machines? [yes]
Do you want to be able to use host-only networking in your Virtual Machines? [no]
Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor done Virtual bidirectional parallel port failed Virtual ethernet done Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done
The configuration of VMware 2.0.3 build-799 for Linux for this running kernel completed successfully.
You can now run VMware by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware".
Enjoy,

# vmware VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for your running kernel. To (re-)configure it, your system administrator must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more information, please read the INSTALL file in VMware Workstation's documentation directory. avalon:/usr/bin # ===============================================================================
The only clue is the "failed" on the parallel port.
The same build of vmware is running fine on the same machine when I boot to my old 7.0 installation.
