Hi.
When installing Vmware (following the hint), I get the following message
during ./vmware-install.pl :
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /sources/linux-2.6.16.5/include
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the
same address space size as your running kernel.
Just a guess, but vmware probably builds a kernel module. It needs to
build the kernel module against whatever kernel you plan on running.
So, you need to keep around the source dir from when you compiled your
kernel and point vmware-install.pl to it.
Paldo installs the vmware kernel module without using the perl
installer. Maybe you could read the vmware-install.pl script and try
to recreate its actions without all the sanity checks it does.
