VMWare Server Install

Okay… so I’m using openSuse 11.1. I can’t for the life of me get
VMWare to configure right/run on my system. After install, when I run
it, I get:

> @@PRODUCT_NAME@@ is installed, but it has not been (correctly)
> configured
> for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
> following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.

When I try to run that I get:

> Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
>
> Stopping VMware autostart virtual machines:
> Virtual machines failed
> Stopping VMware management services:
> VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access
> VMware Server Host Agent failed
> Stopping VMware services:
> VMware Authentication Daemon done
> Virtual machine monitor done
>
> You must read and accept the End User License Agreement to continue.
> Press enter to display it.

After reading it, I try to run VMWare, and same cycle begins again.
Any tips to get this puppy running?

Hi
Instead of reading, press q (to quit) and then you need to accept to
continue the rest of the install process of building the modules. You
also need to install kernel-source make gcc and probably kernel-syms.

Okay, now it’s asking where the C header files that match my running
kernal are… where would I find that?

BTW, thanks for your help!

Hi
Have you installed the files I mentioned, kernel-source etc? It should
default to those locations if they are installed eg [/usr/src/linux]

I did install those. Apparently, I must have been typo-ing, because it
did eventually work based on the default directory it was recommendinng.
Thanks. Now I have successfully installed Server. How do I get into
server to create a new VM?
