64 bit vmware server
 
Vmware Server 1.0.1 - very confused! any help would be THE SHIT!
I have a 64 suse 9.3 amd 2800+
just a note i did get vmware server installed on a 32 bit clean install on suse 10.1 (my test box) went to this site http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/15963.html and did this on my suse 10.1 box "have a kernel-default and a make file, but we are missing the kernel-source, gcc, and gcc-c++ packages. This is what you would see with a typical installation."
this worked!
now on my suse 9.3 64bit i run the command
Code:

rpm -qa kernel* gcc* make
all is cool i think
Code:

kernel-default-2.6.11.4-21.13
gcc-3.3.5-5
gcc-c++-3.3.5-5
kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.11.4-21.13
make-3.80-187

so i try to install vmware server and i get to a stop point when it ask me for the dir
Code:

/usr/src/linux/
wtf so i try to cd into the dir, it is not there.
just a note i did try to do the command

# You should still be in a terminal and you should be in as root (su -). Change to the /usr/src/linux directory, type make cloneconfig; make prepare-all and hit Enter.
and this the problem
Code:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
and i found this solution of "You need to download linux headers with the apt command"
i can not get the apt-get to install
any info?
Thanks for any help!

I am not a suse user, but I dont think apt-get doesnt work in suse. its for debian based stros. next, you would need to install the kernel-devel package. use yast or download the rpms from somewhere and continue with the installation.

DL the kernel source and headers for the kernel you will use then makeconfig once your config file is made softlink /usr/src/linux to the directory of your kernel source.
