opensuse 11 - unable to install vmware tools

[terryxela]

ref:

vmware workstation 6.0.2

host opensuse 10.3 64b

guest: opensuse 11 64b

Problem: I can not install vmware tools either the 386.rpm or the tar file. The tar file complaind the g compilare are different version of the one use for the kernel. I tried different setups without sucess. I will spend more time with it but I wonder if any of you have already done it.

BTW the installation of opensue 11 went perfect and very fast. It runs almost as good as the real.

TIA

When I run rpm -Uvh command, I see that there is a conflict with various files from the open-vm-tools files.

When I try to uninstall using vmware, I get an error message "unable to find tar installer database file (/etc/vmware-tools/locations).

Is there a place where I could find the attachments, I have the same problem, nothing installs.

According to Novell, if you unstall the open-vm-tools, you should then can install Vmware tools.

But this failed for me.

You might try removing them with YaST, that worked for me. That way, it handles the dependencies.

I was using Yast.

Oops, my mistake. I thought you were running rpm from a terminal.

I tried the RPM file and the tarball to install. I found the uninstall..pl to uninstall it . I also tried YAST.
