After the install vmware as follows: emerge -v app-emulation/vmware-workstation
I get the following error when I run /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.
sh: /etc/init.d/vmware: No such file or directory
Unable to stop services for VMware Workstation
Execution aborted.
I have tried the following:
1. rm /etc/vmware/not-configured
2. /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl --skipstostart
3./opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl -skipstostart
my machine is a compaq/hp p4 with 1 gig ram and 160gig hd
uname -a
Linux nebula 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 #1 Tue Jul 26 13:45:15 PDT 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
gcc ?
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start':
init.c .text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I can not get vmware to configure no matter what I do.
Thank you for your help in advance. |

Does /etc/init.d/vmware show in the output of | Code: | | equery files vmware-workstation | grep init.d |

Where is this output from? uname -a? or when you try starting vmware? |

I have the same problem.
vmware-workstation 5.0 was working just fine. I decided to upgrade to 5.5, now I get the same error message when running /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl:
| Code: | # /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.
* ERROR: "vmware" has not yet been started.

I'm also having weird issues.
I get the same error as stated above. If I try to use the -skipstopstart, I get a litle further, but then it complains about my kernel source folder.
| Code: | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
The path "/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2" is an existing directory, but it does
not contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.
|
That is the folder for the currently used kernel.

re-emerging the kernel sources fixed the above issue on one of my machines. The other I can't re-emerge it as 2.6.14-r2 is no longer in portage and 2.6.15-r1 won't work right for me yet.
Now I get this
| Code: | include/linux/fs.h:822: error: storage size of `s_vfs_rename_sem' isn't known
/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only/linux/vmhost.h:71: error: storage size of `callQueue' isn't known

The storage size isn't known I get a lot more of then what I have posted. Any idea?

I re-compiled my kernel, then booting off the new kernel, I was able to compile the vmware modules.
