configuration of vmware 5.0 workstation for linux fails
distro: suse 9.0 professional
kernel: 2.6.10
vmware version:
VMware Workstation 5.0.0 build-13124
It installs just fine.
However, I get the following error when calling the application from console
Code:
#> vmware
VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
This is what I do...tell what I'm doing wrong please.
Code:
1.
#> vmware-config.pl

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.10/build/include]

You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware".

After step 5, I try to configure it again as in step 1. Steps 1-4 are just an eternal loop.
By the way....step 5 "network" error doesn't make any sense to me. I get an IP address just fine on eth0...I surf the net and everything...In fact, I'm posting this topic now using this machine just fine.
Any ideas on vmware config issue?
Thanks, Randomx |
