Krellan,

I know this might be asking a bit much, but do you think you can come up with a patch that will allow VMPlayer 1.0.9 to work with 64bit Centos using 2.6.29.4 (from kernel.org) ? I don't have the option to upgrade to the latest VMplayer right now. Or if you feel giving, let me know how I can do it myself? Or is it even possible?

Thanks.

Here is the vmmon error:

Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?
[/usr/share/icons]

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a
.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?
[/usr/share/pixmaps]

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Player 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
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.29.4/build/include]
