using vmware player 4 (on windows host) and trying to install vmware tools in an opensuse 12 guest which uses linux kernel 3.7
i still get "vmxnet.c:525:4: error: unknown field" errors when running vmware-config-tools.pl
even after installing
- kernel-devel
- kernel-default-devel
- kernel-desktop-devel
and adding a symbolic link
- su -
- cd /usr/src/linux-obj/i386/default/include
- ln -s generated/uapi/linux .
