Re: [expert] problems building the vmmon module

2002-03-22 Thread Bill Kenworthy

Fixed yesterday - removed the two egcs packages that were installed and
it went with 2.96.  I have an idea the packages are used for kernel
compiles, so I will need to put them back eventually.

Does 8.2 (I will be upgrading in a couple of weeks) have this problem as
well?

Re: [expert] problems building the vmmon module

2002-03-22 Thread John Young




I have installed VMwareWorkstation-3.0.0-1455.i386.rpm on my ML 8.1 and 8.2
(upgraded from 8.1) without any problem. Even though the vmware-config.pl
gave a warning message for gcc-2.96 version on 8.2, the installation was
successful if I said "yes" after the warning. Also, you can change the path
in the vmware-config.pl  to point to some other gcc version:

   3667   $ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin';

At least I am not alone!  No ximian but a mixed bag of cooker stuff
compiled from srpm.  Some gcc3.0 as well as I have tried (and failed so
far) to build openoffice.  Looks like I will have to resort to a windoze

[expert] problems building the vmmon module

2002-03-21 Thread Bill Kenworthy

I am going to give vmware 3 a try but am having problems building the
vmmon module - the errors below seem to indicate something is missing
from my system but I cannot tell what.  The kernel is one compiled for
an athlon using the standard mandrake sources (tried the standard
2.4.8-26 and that fails to).  Cant find anything on the web or vmware
sites so hoping someone here has come across this before.
