[SOLVED] Failed to compile module vmmon - kernel i...

jpearso · ‎08-25-2011

Hello

I have been playing around with trying to installVMware Workstation 7.1.4 on openSUSE 12.1 (which is still in dev.)

The error message I get is is "Failed to compile module vmmon!" - see setup log details below.

Anyone know of a patch that I could download and try in order to build the vmmon?

All comments and remarks are welcome

I am following up here on my "Failed to compile module vmmon" problem on openSUSE 12.1 with the log
