70 If 1.0.9 is not a necessity, you may want to try vmware-server in
71 portage(1.0.8) instead.
72
73 $ sudo emerge -pv vmware-server
74 [ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r2 483 kB
75 [ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.8.126538 104,611 kB
76
77 As an addition, if you build kernel manually, turning CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS on
78 beforehand or vmware-modules will refuse to compile.
79
80 $ cd /usr/src/linux
81 $ sudo make menuconifg
82 (Kernel hacking) --> (Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols) --> (y)
83 $ sudo make && make modules_install
84
85 Boot the machine with new kernel and issue the above 'emerge' command
86 should bring
87 you a working vmware-server.
