Hi Peter,
try downloading the vmware-server rpm file again.
then run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Thanks Ben,
I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp along with the
kernel-smp-devel and installed vmware-any-any-update98 and now I can
compile the modules, the vmware-config.pl returns text like:
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only'
The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.
However it then reports:
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [FAILED]
Virtual ethernet [FAILED]
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 [ OK ]
according to lsmod.
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
vmnet 37412 3
vmmon 173068 0
But I've yet to figure out what the issue is with the services, I
probably need a newer version of VMware.
