Dear All,
I have Suse 8.2 pro on my xp 1600+ 500 megs ram machine and want to use my vmware 2.0.4 that I purchased a couple of years ago. I had it working fine on my Suse 8 and now want to use it on my Suse 8.2 pro. I have the needed modules installed but it will not compile. It installed OK, but after using the vmware-config.pl it asked where my kernel sources were and I had to give the location since I had changed my kernel to Mantel's 2.4.21-108 athlon. The kernel change had to be done for me to use my usb. Anyway the error message I got was this:
If you have the kernel source installed you need to do the following: 1. Either copy the config file from /boot to /usr/src/linux/.config or run make cloneconfig 2. cd /usr/src/linux 3. run make dep Then you should be able to run vmware-config.pl. With out prepping the kernel source tree you will not be able to compile the vmware modules. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (6.2)
