Is there a current config or .config in /usr/src/linux? Check /boot as well for a config for your current kernel.
|
"/usr/src/linux" takes me to "/lib/modules/2.6.13-7/build" and there is no .config or config file there...probally deleted by the make mrproper.
/boot/ doesn't contain any config file either. |

Cyber Maid,
Why don't you get the new versrion I believe is 5.5.3 (tarball) and try to install it and describe step by step what you are doing. Hope with this info we can help you a little more. -=terry(Denver)=- |
ok, i have done a as clean possible install.
Here are the steps that i have taken: make mrproper /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl rpm -e kernel-source-2.6.13-7 rpm -e kernel-headers-2.6.13-7 --nodeps rpm -ivh rpm -e kernel-headers-2.6.13-7 rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6.13-7 ~/vmware-distrib/vmware-install.pl Entered trough the install. Reached the vmware-config.pl Got the same error again: Code:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running Applied the vmware-any-any-update109. Code:
[root@maidsmansion vmware-any-any-update109]# ./runme.pl And still i get the same error: Code:
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. I used to run on Fedora and all that took to run VMware was the any any update. :( |
Sounds like it's still looking for a config file and doesn't think you have a configured kernel. I'd say try to generate that config, run those previous commands I mentioned and go again. Or just take the steps to recompile you're kernel to your liking, save the config, reboot into new kernel and then attempt an install.

You can get the .config for the currently running kernel with
Code:
gzip -dc /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config |

/proc/config.gz does exits so i did "gzip -dc /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config"
after make mrproper (because mrproper cleans the .config file aswell) clone config did nothing again Code:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `cloneconfig'. Stop. tried to install vmware again...still got the same error that it's not configured yet. rebooted and triedt to install again...but that didn't work either. |
Well TurboLinux isn't listed as a supported Host OS for VMware Workstation. I'd say you may want to try and upgrade or match your kernel to one of the supported platforms.

Finally!!!
After browsing some japanese sites i found one with a how-to install VMware! It seems all that has been done wasn't necessary at all :/ Here are the steps you should take when installing VMware on Turbolinux 11 (Fuji): ---------------------------------- # cd /usr/src/linux # ./SetupKernelSource.sh i686 # cp .config /usr/src/linux-2.6.13 Then install VMware with the regular ./vmware-install.pl. You don't even need the any-any-patch! ----------------------------------- my god...i spend 2 days on this, rebuilding the kernel numerous times. Then i just type some japanese in google (インストール vmware turbolinux FUJI) and voila. |

Glad you got it working, I'll keep that SetupKernelSource.sh in mind next time, since it seems to be TurboLinux related only, as I don't seem to have it on any of my own systems. Cheers. |
Ciber Maid glad you have it working. I was looking for something you could have done wrong. I have SuSE and I have never had to do anything extra than to run the script. One minor exception was the last release 10.2 when I had to enable usbfs in the kernel to be able to run the Palm sync.
