Hello,
I've got a problem enabling shared folders on a Suse Linux 10.3 guest:
Running the vmware-config-tools I get an error while building vmhgfs.o-driver.
The error says, that there are too few arguments to function "kmem_cache_create".
Sharing folders isn't possible after that error, of course.
Does anyone have a fix for that error?
Cheers

Same with me and some others here. Seems not to work, yet. You can use mapped network drives, instead. As long as the other modules got compoiled, this shouldn't be a too worse thing.

Hi,
Thanks for the hints!
I've found a solution B-):
Add
#define VMW_KMEMCR_HAS_DTOR 1
to
/usr/src/linux-2.6.22.5-31/include/linux/slab.h
Suse Linux 10.3 has a 2.6.22-kernel with an ols slab.h. The fix tells vmware-tools about it.
Execute vmware-config-tools.pl again and you should see no more error.
Cheers

Another option, this did it for me:
