Workstation 16 on RHEL 8.3 - compile kernel issues

rileyb76 — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 14:19:00 GMT

I’m attempting to install VMWare Workstation on RHEL 8.3 and running into some issues. I’ll attach an install log below.

To install, I’m simply downloading the latest vmware bundle file and installing via Putty. I have also attempted to install via GUI. Once the install is completed, I try to launch VMWare Workstation and get prompted to compile the kernel, when I do, it errors out. So I attempted to run

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

which resulted in the log below.

$ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all [AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.
