Has anybody successfully configured VMWare Workstation (my version:
6.04, x86_64) for Fedora 9 (x86_64)? I have before me a fully-updated
fresh install of Fedora 9. I then install the VMware-workstation
package and run vmware-config.pl. The first complaint the script makes
is:
The following libraries could not be found on your system:
libX11.so.6
libXtst.so.6
libXext.so.6
libXrender.so.1
libz.so.1
even though each of those is clearly located in /usr/lib64. The
script, however, carries on. Later:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64/include
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64) does not
match your running kernel (version 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64). Even if the module
were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
What's up with that? The config script apparently doesn't like the
-108 in the kernel header version, which is missing from the kernel
version. Ack!
I've applied the any-any update (117 -- latest I could find).
And for completeness:
$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 1
06:06:21 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64
kernel-headers-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64
kerneloops-0.11-1.fc9.x86_64
kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64
Has anybody got past this, or else done the install and not
experienced it? Ability to run VMWare is really a deal-breaker in my
situation. Any help at all is appreciated greatly.
Alan,
do you need both the kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 and
kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 packages? That could be part of the
confusion with the source stuff.
And as far as the X11 libraries are concerned it appears that VMWare is
looking for the 32bit versions (/usr/lib) not the 64bit versions
(/usr/lib64).
