Re: vmmon - compat_wait.h: error: conflicting type...

davidbailey · ‎05-21-2007

Hello,

This is on OpenSUSE 10.2 with kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3-default on a Core 2 Duo running x86_64 version of the OS.

It's a base installation with the updates loaded.

I've tried the following:

1. Back revved to 2.6.18.2-34, and after no success, re-applied 2.6.18.8-0.3

2. Removed and reinstalled the source for 2.6.18.8-03

3. Copied the /usr/src/linux/.config from /boot/config-2.6.18.8-0.3-default

4. Alternatively, tried make cloneconfig

5. Did a make modules_prepare after both 3 & 4 (selected defaults if it asked for options)

6. Tried the vmware-any-any-update109

7. Removed all XEN kernels and RPMs.

8. All of the above after make mrproper and make clean.

9. Tried with both the latest VMware 5.5.4 and VMware 6.0 RPMs

10. Beat my head against the wall a few times and tried it all again.

I've not seen anything like this in the forums, although I may have missed something. It appears that others are being successful running VMware Workstation on this kernel.

I keep getting compile errors. Here is what I'm seeing:
