Hi,
I would like to install vmware 2.0 on my gentoo 1.4 box. Has anyone done that before? I can get the modules compiled, but still it does'nt work.
Mike

The VMWare 2.0 modules were probably never intended to be compiled by GCC 3.2, that's probably the problem. Sorry, but I don't have a solution for you besides upgrading... or searching the net for a GCC 3.2 patch to the VMWare 2.0 modules...
The WMware 3.1 modules give me plenty of warnings related to the compiler being GCC 3.2, but it all works well. Haven't tried 3.2, but as of 3.1 there are still minor glitches with GCC 3.2... (although I've had no problems with the modules after compiling) |

The funny thing is that running vmware-config.pl installs everything (I just need vmware to run, no samba / networking). After compiling the modules it even says that they perfectly fit into the kernel. However, when I run | Code: | | rc-config add vmware default |
and try to start vmware, it complains about not being configured correctly. So It does not seem to be the compiler. Any suggestion?
