I installed a real vmware server on a real host machine running 10.2 beta2. There weren't any probs. I haven't installed any virtual machines on that yet, but I guess the server should be like the tools in that matter. So I think maybe this problem with the vmware-tools not compiling comes from the fact that my guest machine was built with the http://www.easyvmx.com/ service. It's "fake" It's not installed from a real vmware workstation like they used to be when I made the instructions on my site. http://waxborg.pp.fi/mobile/articles/vmware.html Anything to confirm this? -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters. Seldom. And usually just once.
