Hello,

I can't install new version o workstation under my slackware-current.

Hi

Welcome to forum.

From log file I assume you may need to uninstall the previous version & then install it .

Or having some permission issues due to which its not getting overwrite.

Look at

http://slackblogs.blogspot.com/2012/11/vmware-workstation-901-and-linux-kernel_18.html

Also please compress any VMware elogs you attach to a post.  Not every body wants to look at the entire log file since much is redundant or not useful to the problem.

The symlink isn't the issue.  It's an internal change in the 3.7 kernel causing an unresolved symbol in vmblock.ko.  I don't know if it was a code cleanup in the kernel that caused the issue or what, but I ran down the fix for it by finding: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795837 which points to a fixup/patch in the gentoo sources here: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files/264-putna...

Step by step:

  1. Find vmblock.tar (mine was in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source)
  2. Make a backup of it!
  3. Now untar the vmblock.tar somewhere safe (say /tmp or your home directory) (command is tar xvf <path>/vmblock.tar)
  4. Now cd into vmblock-only/linux
    1. chmod 644 control.c
    2. open it with your favorite text editor (gedit/vim/joe/leafpad etc..)
    3. search for putname(name);
    4. replace with __putname(name);
    5. save
    6. exit
  5. Now chmod it back to 444 (chmod 444 control.c)
  6. Now cd back to the top level directory that has vmblock-only in it.
  7. Create a new tar file called vmblock.tar with the modified contents (tar cvf --group=root --owner=root vmblock.tar vmblock-only)
    1. The group and owner options make sure it's going back with the same ownership it came out with.
  8. As the superuser/root move the modified vmblock.tar file back to where you found it in step 1
  9. Execute vmware-modconfig --console --install-all as root.

That should allow it to build and install, YMMV, I take no responsibility etc., etc.,

It's a few steps, I agree, but it moves a lot quick when you're doing it. :smileylaugh:  If I were reasonable certain VMWare wouldn't object I'd toss a modified vmblock.tar out for public consumpution, assuming 9.0.1 build-894247 is what everyone is running. or put together a bash script to automate the process.

Normally VMware just allows outside developers to code there own  fixes for    kernel problems.  I woould not   expect a modified  tarball  and script  anytime soonSmiley Sad  There main audience is large corporations aand their large IT departments.

Followed all the steps and they completed without  error.  However "Failed to setup build environment"  But I know the problem itgs the same as with Fedora.

the openSUSE kernel 3.7.6-1.2-desktop does not   have -devel files!  This is probably because my openSUSE version is 12.3 RC1.

However the debug version of the kernel DOES  have lthe  kernel-devel files.  So I will     boot into that kernel and try again (after uninstalling vmware using just  /usr/bin/vmware-instgaller -u vmwarfe-workstation (I do not believe I  have to completely uninstall it -but  perhaps I will anyway since I  still  have  the modified  vmbclock.tar in my home   build directory. And yes I   do   have all the development files  (c++ compilter   etc).  I'll let  you  knoiw in a day or  so.  Then I will  try the same  with Fedora    Rawhide with a 3.8  kernel - assuming I can find the debug kernel.

Croosinig my fingers.  Thanks  for your expert  instructions!!

the debug version does not boot and even if it did it would run at 1/10 speed.  However the trace kernel does boot and runs fine and has the devel files.
