Go back into yast ans install the kernel-syms package, then do an on-line
update to be sure that all your packages are up to date. (the kernel source
you installed may or may not match the current kernel, but an online
update will fix that.
Hi again guys. I managed to solve the problem after a bit of searching
on the web.
Apart from installing all the necessary stuff (kernel-source, syms,
and make) this is what I did:
First I edited the contents of /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h adding:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> echo "#define UTS_RELEASE \""`uname -r`\"
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.18.2-34-default"
Then I entered /usr/src/linux and did:
# make cloneconfig
# make modules_prepare
after that I followed the instructions on this web site:
http://nileshbansal.blogspot.com/2006/05/vmware-workstation-on-suse-linux-101.html
after I had a problem with compilation errors
voila, that was it.
I dont know if all the steps were indeed necessary, but I am
reproducing them as I did them... =))
thanks for everyone who eased me into Suse's newbie stuff
(sorry about the english, i am brazilian =)
