1 hello everone!
2
3 i'm having problems running vmware. a recend "emerge -DuvaN world"
4 upgraded vmware to version 6.5.5 and i upgraded the kernel to
5 # uname -a
6 Linux toxic 2.6.39-gentoo-r3 #4 SMP Thu Sep 22 16:06:58 CEST 2011
7 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel
8 GNU/Linux
9
10 when i try to run vmware the module updater starts (sounds good, the
11 modules should be gone) and complains it can't find the kernel headers.
12
13 # ls -l /usr/src/
14 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 21. Sep 18:00 linux ->
15 linux-2.6.39-gentoo-r3
16
17 even if i specifically select the directory containing the kernel
18 source it doesn't find them.
19
20 i then tried to emerge vmware-modules, guessing that might fix it,
21 which fails:
22
23 /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.25-r3/work/vmblock-only/linux/dentry.c:

38 full logs attached.
39 am i missing something or is this a bug?
