CentOS 5.3 + kernel-2.6.18-164 + vmware-server-2.0.1-156745: vmware-config.pl compilation error

 

I upgraded kernel on my CentOS box and after reboot, the vmware-config.pl doesn't want compile some modules and stop the compilation process.

 

 

 

 

 

I attach the output.txt.

 

 

 

 

 

Any workaround/patch to allow vmware rerun under this kernel version?

 

 

 

 

 

Regards

Perhaps these changes into vmnet.tar will help to change the file with a more robust patch.

 

 

 

 

 

You only have to substitute your old one by this.

Pardon the ignorance - where is the original vmnet.tar that needs to be replaced?  I copied the .tar.gz version of VMware Tools, expanded it, but no vmnet.tar within.  There is a vmxnet.tar and a vmxnet3.tar, however.

 

 

I'm having the same problem as the original poster, and it's failing on the compilation of the driver for both vmxnet and vmxnet3.
