Hi list users,
Neither googling nor a visit to vmware's site provided an answer.
vmware workstation 5.0 installed without complaint on fc4; however, an
attempt to run vmware-config.pl fails with errors at the stage where it
attempts to compile vmmon.ko. The specific errors are:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686'

I'm not a c programmer but am not afraid to try things. I tried adding
symlinks to irq_vectors.h and irq_vector_limits.h but succeeded in
segfaulting with a warning about mismatched headers and kernel, so I
obviously linked the wrong things. The headers and kernel do match:
linux-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.
I'm hoping I'm not the only person to have tried this. Any pointers or
help from somebody who has succeeded?
Thanks for any consideration,
Mike Wright :m)
