I followed this howto I signed up for free, got a license and downloaded the tar.gz and proceeded to Code: ./vmware-install.pl but there was a problem: Code: 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] So I hit enter for yes ... next thing is ... Code: Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.1.3", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.2". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.2" anyway? [no] and again enter ... Code: For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, please visit our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/go/unsup-linux-products" and "http://www.vmware.com/go/unsup-linux-tools". Execution aborted. I checked out both links the first didn't help the second didn't work ... So help is appreciated ;-) P.S. I created the mentioned symlink Code: ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc and Code: Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped. Stopping VMware autostart virtual machines: Virtual machines failed Stopping VMware management services: VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access VMware Server Host Agent failed Stopping VMware services: VMware Authentication Daemon done Virtual machine monitor done
