installing VMware on Turbolinux 11
I give up...
After hours of trying and searching the net i have yet to install VMware successfully on Turbolinux 11 (FUJI). I've got all the required software and kernel-source. - Tried clean install...no go - Tried with any any patch 1.0.9...nothing - Tried rebuilding the kernel...still nothing I'm stuck now with vmware thinking i havn't configured the kernel. Code:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running I even did: make mrproper, make xconfig...save and exit, make, make modules Still nothing... I hope someone here can help me. |
You most likely need the latest vmware-any-any update installed to get this to work. You can get the latest version here: ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/
|
the one i applied is the latest version: vmware-any-any-update109.tar.gz

VMware just thinks i need to configure the kernel...and i believe that is done with "make xconfig" right? |
What version of VMware are you trying to install? And what kernel packages do you currently have installed? Do the match the current running kernel?
|
Run
$ uname -r $ rpm -qa | grep kernel And be sure that kernel and source are the same version. Any difference can explain some of the problems. The kernel headers do not need to be the same. Ciao -=terry(Denver)=- |
VMware 5.5.2
Code:
[cybermaid@maidsmansion ~]$ uname -r |
Also, /usr/src/linux/include might not be the proper path to the correct Kernel Header file. It may be in something like:
/lib/modules/<current-kernel-version>/build/include |

Try running these commands from your /usr/src/linux directory:
make mrproper make cloneconfig make modules_prepare And then try to rerun the vmware-config.pl and see if it still complains. |
Instead of make modules_prepare, you can also try make prepare-all as well if the modules_prepare doesn't work.
|
Hmmm, can't make cloneconfig...
Code:
[root@maidsmansion linux]# make cloneconfig |

rpm -qa | grep gcc |
Yes, thats what the output says.
Code:
[root@maidsmansion linux]# rpm -qa | grep gcc |
