How To Install VMware Server 1.0.x On An Ubuntu 9.10

Hi,

I've got a few problems:

1. aptitude install build-dep
--> "Konnte Paket build-dep nicht finden" (Couldn't find build-dep)

2. cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
--> cp Aufruf von stat für "/boot/config-uname -r" nicht möglich: No such file or directory

3. If I try although "make menuconfig"
--> make: *** Keine Regel um <<menuconfig>> zu erstellen. Schluss.

Can anyone help me?

That package doesn't exist. I've corrected the tutorial.

What are the outputs of

Code:

uname -r

and

Code:

ls -la /boot/

?

 

Hi Falko,
thank you for your reply!

When I tried:
cp /boot/config-2.6.31-16-generic .config

it worked!

make menuconfig does not work!

 

Do you have any error messages?

 

make: *** Keine Regel, um >>menuconfig<< zu erstellen. Schluss.

My translation:
(make: *** No rule to create >>menuconfig<< Exiting.)

 

Did you follow the tutorial to the letter, or are there any changes you did?

Are there any other error messages before the one you posted?

 

Hi Falko,

I got it:
Just the wrong folder!
No it is working... in that moment I'm buliding the new kernel ...
