I tried with vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz as I mentioned at http://www.vavai.net/index.php?/archives/18-Installing-VMWare-Ver-5.5-.X-on-OpenSUSE-10.3.html#extended and the installation finished without problem. Here is what I wrote at the article : 1. Used VMWare version 5.5.5. This version used same license with version 5.5.1. If you have prior version, download VMWare ver 5.5.5 from VMWare. 2. Download vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz or another latest update to update your kernel module. 3. Install the following packages. The Software Management tool in YaST makes this easy to do. - binutils - gcc - gcc-c++ - kernel-source - make (this is probably already installed) 4. Preparing the kernel update, run the following command : # cd /usr/src/linux # make mrproper # make cloneconfig # make modules_prepare 5. Go to your vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz download directory 6. Extract the file # tar -zxvf vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz 7. Switch to the directory in which you extracted vmware-any-any-update # cd vmware-any-any-update114 8. Run ./runme.pl and follow the prompts. After applying the patch, the runme.pl script will call the VMware configuration script /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. Follow these prompts as well. 9. Finally, the configuration process finished with greeting message : The configuration of VMware Workstation 5.5.5 build-56455 for Linux for this running kernel completed successfully. You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware". Enjoy, --the VMware team 10. Run your VMWare by invoking the following command : "/usr/bin/vmware" from Konsole. # /usr/bin/vmware VMWare response with this warning : /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) But the rest is OK and VMWare launched and started successfully.
