 Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2006 5:13 am Post subject: VMware Workstation configuration error (SOLVED) |
 |
|
I just merged vmware-workstation-5.5.1.19175-r1 and the configuration script seems to have an odd problem:
| Code: | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] <enter>
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel. |
I only have one kernel source tree, the linux symlink, and it is for the same kernel I'm using, gentoo-sources-2.6.16.

Uncomment the following lines in /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl (line 1974):
| Code: |
# if ($header_page_offset =~ /[0-9a-fA-F]{8,}/) {
# We found a valid page offset
# if (defined($gSystem{'page_offset'}) and
# not (lc($header_page_offset) eq lc($gSystem{'page_offset'}))) {
# if ($source eq 'user') {
# print wrap('The kernel defined by this directory of header files does '
# . 'not have the same address space size as your running '
# . 'kernel.' . "\n\n", 0);
# }
# return '';
# }
# }

| I have the latest linux-headers, and those lines in vmware-config.pl are already uncommented. Do you mean comment them? |

| Thank you, it worked.. I was going to go and do it myself, but the code didn't seem bad and looked like it was okay. |
