Problems in Installing VMware server in FC6 - users - Fedora mailing-lists

3 Nov 2006


      hello,
I am still having problems in installing VMware server in Fedora 
Core 6.  I just used vmware-any-any-update104, only to come up with the 
following results:
[root@jeffrey vmware-any-any-update104]# ./runme.pl
Updating /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl ... already patched
Updating /usr/bin/vmware ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/bin/vmnet-bridge ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin-debug/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.
Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to 
configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the 
command for
you now? [yes] yes
Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
Stopping VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]
Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.
In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?
[/usr/share/icons] /usr/share/icons
What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a
.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications] /usr/share/applications
In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?
[/usr/share/pixmaps] /usr/share/pixmaps
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server 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] yes
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? [/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include] 
/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include
