hi all. I am trying to install VMWare Tools v. 7.6.2-72241 in gOS, and so far I haven't been successful. Basically, it fails to build kernel modules. I don't know why exactly, but this is what I get every time:
--------------- Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic' CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/backdoorGcc32.o CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/os.o In file included from /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/os.c:51: /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/compat_wait.h:55:5: warning: "VMW_HAVE_EPOLL" is not defined /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/compat_wait.h:61:5: warning: "VMW_HAVE_EPOLL" is not defined In file included from /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/os.c:51: /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/compat_wait.h:78: error: conflicting types for ‘poll_initwait’ include/linux/poll.h:65: error: previous declaration of ‘poll_initwait’ was here make[2]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only/os.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic' make: *** [vmmemctl.ko] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmemctl-only' Unable to build the vmmemctl module. -------------- and the same happens for every subsequent module. what I have done so far: - installed kernel headers and make (gcc and binutils were already installed) - did a dist-upgrade via apt, which updated the kernel to 2.6.24-19 among other things but the results of my installation attempts remain identical. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
