 |

Hi!
I synced my system yesterday, 2.6.3-gentoo-r1 was marked as stable, I installed it.. and now I'm unable to recompile vmware modules:

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.3-gentoo-r1/build/include]

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.

Any suggestion?
I'm also using:

change the following line in the ebuild
| Code: | | N26KernSupport="vmware-any-any-update50" |
to
| Code: | | N26KernSupport="vmware-any-any-update51" |
and don't forget to remove the /etc/vmware/not_configured file |

And that, my dear friends, is why Gentoo, this forum, and Gentoo users completely rock.
You have my thanks,
Simon

hi,
i have another problem here.
when i try to configure a fresh installed vmware-workstation,
| Code: | root@drbloed / # /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped.
|
nothing happens! i can't break this script, i have to explicitly kill it.
using kernel gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.3-r1 and neuest vmware (someversion-r1).
my ebuild is already fixed (any-update-51-stuff) after an "emerge sync"

I have the same problem with all the 2.6 kernels
