Issue installing VMware-server-1.0.6-91891 in Fedora 9
Hi there,
I just tried to install vmware server 1.0.6 in Fedora 9 and ran into this issue: Code: Building the vmmon module. Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686/build/include/..

Thanks in advance! |
Could check Kang's patch. (Make a backup of your vm.* driver tarballs in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/,) download http://www.insecure.ws/warehouse/vmw...5.5.7-2.tar.gz and run the ./runme.pl.
