I just emerged VMware 5.5.0, and when I run /opt/vmware/workstation/vmware-config.pl, it completes successfully, but the kernel modules it says it's creating arn't actually there. Here's what happens:
| Code: | Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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]
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/2.6.12-gentoo-r9/build/include]
Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.
You have already setup networking.
Would you like to skip networking setup and keep your old settings as they are?
(yes/no) [no]

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.
The configuration of VMware Workstation 5.5.0 build-18007 for Linux for this
running kernel completed successfully.
You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command:
"/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware".
Enjoy,
--the VMware team |
The directory /tmp/vmware-config0 doesn't even exist!
VMware runs fine, I just run into problems when I try to startup a virtual machine, since the modules arn't there.
I've tried makeing vmware-config0 and all the subdirectories myself and running the script, but still nothing was written. |

For me that script installs the modules into /lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/
Try modprobe -ls | grep vm and see if it lists any vm* modules. I get the following....
/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/vmnet.o
/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/vmmon.o
/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/vmnet.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.13-gentoo-r5/misc/vmmon.ko
I have never needed to modprobe them myself, vmware always loaded them for me but you could try and load them by hand if they are listed. |
