Hello all I am trying to install vmware on my openSUSE 10.3 machine I followed the tutorial and this is what I got. linux:/home/alon/DownloadPackages/VMware # rpm -qa kernel* gcc* make make-3.81-66 gcc-fortran-4.2-24 gcc42-gij-4.2.1_20070724-26 gcc-gij-4.2-24 gcc42-4.2.1_20070724-17 kernel-source-2.6.22.18-0.2 gcc-4.2-24 gcc-c++-4.2-24 gcc42-fortran-4.2.1_20070724-17 kernel-default-2.6.22.18-0.2 gcc42-c++-4.2.1_20070724-17 linux:/home/alon/DownloadPackages/VMware # cd /usr/src/linux linux:/usr/src/linux # ls linux:/usr/src/linux # make mrproper; make cloneconfig; make modules_prepare make: *** No rule to make target `mrproper'. Stop. make: *** No rule to make target `cloneconfig'. Stop. make: *** No rule to make target `modules_prepare'. Stop. linux:/usr/src/linux # Any suggestions ? what do I do , what are rule targets. I tried man make but I did not understand it.
i dont use suse but under rhel the kernel sources are in kernel-devel, you are getting that error because there is no Makefile in that directory
Thank you , That might be the case. I literally created the /linux directory. Might the makefile be somewhere else? How do I find it? can I use another directory? Thanks Only-trouble
