FYI...
I'm running Redhat 9, and to get my copy of VMWare 3.2 working with it, I had to make a one-line fix to a source file inside the "vmnet.tar" file for building the vmnet module.
With the fix, VMWare's scripts throw off a lot of what seem to be irrelevant error messages while configuring, but it runs flawlessly once the "vmware-config.pl" script completes.
In the default installation, the source files for the vmnet module are in:
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar
Here's the patch: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ diff -ruN vmnet-only.orig/driver.c vmnet-only/driver.c --- vmnet-only.orig/driver.c 2002-09-09 20:22:41.000000000 -0700 +++ vmnet-only/driver.c 2003-04-10 18:51:22.000000000 -0700 @@ -1485,7 +1485,7 @@ len += sprintf(buf+len, "pids "); - for_each_task(p) { + for_each_process(p) { if (VNetProcessOwnsPort(p, port)) { len += sprintf(buf+len, "%d", p->pid); if (seen) { ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Erich Stefan Boleyn <erich@uruk.org> http://www.uruk.org/ "Reality is truly stranger than fiction; Probably why fiction is so popular"
