Hi, I am trying to run vmware-config.pl in openSuse with a costom kernel. I copied the settings of my old working kernel and only changed a few things, such as dissabled debugging and processor type. Everything else was identical to the original kernel except that it is a newer kernel. I am not sure why this error is occuring. Here is my terminal output.
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
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/2.6.23.1-optimized/build/include]
Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.
Building the vmmon module.
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

I am extreamly new to this linux OS so if there is something I have done in error, please help.
Thanks.
