[PLUG] On to the next problem: VMware

[Rich Shepard]

  I'm trying to get VMware 2.x running with the 2.4 kernel I have installed.
That's always been done by running /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl and letting it
built the modules it needs using the current headers and so on. However, ...

  It won't cooperate today. I tell it to go ahead and build what it needs
and it asks for the path to the C library header files. It offers the
default of /usr/src/linux/include/. I enter '/usr/src/linux/include/linux/'
to match where the 2.4.18 kernel untarred itself but the config script
returns an error: "The directory does not contain 'net', 'linux', or 'asm'
as expected". Those subdirectories are under the path I presented.

  Has anyone encountered this problem before? I've tried making soft links
and doing other manipulations, but to no avail.

Thanks,

Rich
