What you're going to need to do is to load the kernel sources/headers along with the ncurses headers/libs/sources. After you've done that, then you'll be able to easily install VMWare. VMWare's installation depends on having the basic kernel sources so that it can compile virtual networking components from the source - this doesn't mean it's going to recompile your kernel, just builds drivers for itself (vmnet, vmmon, vmsmb). Get past that and you're heading for coolness! -- Tue Jan 7 12:10:01 EST 2003 12:10pm up 2 days, 15:18, 6 users, load average: 0.91, 0.78, 0.65 kuhn media australia - kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------- stephen kuhn - katherine kuhn - berkeley, nsw, au email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: 5483808 - mobile: 0410-728-389 -PC/Mac/Linux/Consulting/eMarketing- ------------------------------------ * linux user: 267497 * rh 7.3+ * ------------------------------------ The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.
