Folks,
just switched from SuSE 11.0 to 11.2 and installed VMplayer 3. When I start it I get a message box:

*“Before you can run VMWare several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel.” *

I then click Install and enter the root password, but get the message:

“Unable to build Kernel module” The logfile shows following entry:

“Trying to find a suitable PBM set for kernel 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop.”

installed is the following:
rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-desktop-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.x86_64
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.x86_64
kernel-syms-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.x86_64
linux-kernel-headers-2.6.31-3.4.noarch
kernel-debug-devel-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.x86_64
kernel-source-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.noarch
kernel-default-devel-2.6.31.5-0.1.1.x86_64

Has anybody got a clue what else is missing here?

Run vmware-modconfig from the command line to build the modules and observe the errors.

You have gcc and make installed, right? :slight_smile:

Many Thanks Chrysantine…I had installed gcc but had forgotten about make… installed now and it’s running fine! :-))
