I mistyped, David. That's where they are on my system, too, but this is
what I see when I run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl:
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of VMware's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running kernel. Do
you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need
to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] (I pressed [Enter] here.)
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is an existing directory, but it does not
contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as expected.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
and, /usr/src/linux/include has:
[root at salmo /usr/src/linux/include]# ls
asm-alpha/ asm-i386/ asm-mips64/ asm-s390x/ linux/ scsi/
asm-arm/ asm-ia64/ asm-parisc/ asm-sh/ math-emu/ video/
asm-cris/ asm-m68k/ asm-ppc/ asm-sparc/ net/
asm-generic/ asm-mips/ asm-s390/ asm-sparc64/ pcmcia/
Could this be due the older version of VMware I have installed not
recognizing the newer layout? There are "linux" and "net" there, even if
there isn't a vanilla "asm".
Any suggestions where to go now?
Thanks,
Rich
