This time the compilation provides the message:
Unable to make a vmnet module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet.o': -1 Unknown symbol
in module
There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration
between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may
want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
Unfortunately the VMWare web site is not very forthcoming.
Has anyone experienced this problem.
Yup! I saw it on Friday at w*rk. It seems to be a 2.6.11 problem,
because it struck me with Debian 2.6.11-5. However, I applied the
vmware-any-any-patch91 (Google for it), and it compiled and loaded
fine after that.
Not strictly 2.6.11 problem as I had it running on an earlier FC compile
of 2.6.11, but tks for reminding me about that patch.
