 |

Hi all! When I run /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl, it ask to me this:
| Code: | None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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] |
I reply yes and then:
| Code: | 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? [/usr/src/linux/include] |
I reply the default (ENTER), and it says:
| Code: | The kernel defined by this directory of header files is uniprocessor, while your
running kernel is multiprocessor. |
Well, if I run uname -a this is the output:
| Code: | | Linux notebook 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 #11 SMP Thu Oct 27 15:44:45 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
So, what I must do? I'm a little noob about this 
Thanks. Diego.

It means your running kernel is not been built out of kernel source located at /usr/src/linux. So you should at least point vmware-config.pl to use the correct one, if you do build the kernel yourself.

| I experienced the same myself, will try a recompile of my kernel today to see if that solves anything. Will get back to you. |

Two things:
1) sources linked to /usr/src/linux must be the same from which you
built your CURRENTLY running kernel
2) they have to be configured EXACTLY like they were when you built your
CURRENTLY RUNNING kernel.
If 1) is the case, do :
| Code: |
su <root password>
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make prepare
|
this should do it.... Now try the VMWare script again.....
cheers
