I'm giving vmware a try. I emerged app-emulation/vmware-workstation, |
| 2 |
which compiled without problems. The problem is with the script |
| 3 |
vmware-config.pl. I accepted the default location for C headers and I |
| 4 |
checked it corresponds to the current kernel. /usr/src/linux is the |
| 5 |
correct symlink, and include/version.h seems right. |
| 6 |
I added root to the vmware group. |
| 7 |
The forums show similar problems, but no solution. |
| 8 |
The links at the end of the error message seem useless. |
| 9 |
What can I try? |

|

|
| 12 |
$ /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl |

Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped. |

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitab le for your |
| 22 |
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for |
| 23 |
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system) ? [yes] |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running |
| 28 |
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r7/build/include] |
