Bruce,
I have vmware workstation 4.5.2 running on SuSE 9.3. It wouldn't compile for me either, until i applied the vmware-any-any-update90.tar.gz patch. That can be found at ftp.cvut.cz/vmware.
I did the following steps.
make cloneconfig make prepare execute runme.pl found in the vmware-any-any-update90.tar.gz
That patch patches the vmware modules and then invokes vmware-config.pl. The patched modules compile fine. The first time I ran the Guest OS, Windows XP Pro, the machine locked up completely. I rebooted and everything was fine after that. I need XP for some office apps here at work. So far no problems at all.
Thanks!! That was what I needed. I tried looking for a patch on the VMWARE site but found nothing. They sure aren't very helpful to their customers.. It's up and running now. Thanks again.
