[SLE] VMware 4.5.x and SuSE 9.3

Hello,

I have been running VMWare 4.5.2 on my SuSE 9.3 for some time with no problem.

When I started VMware today I got a message that there was an upgrade
available and sure enough there was a 4.5.3 dated 12/27 available. I
installed the RPM but got an error message when running vmware-config.pl:

make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config3/vmnet-only'
Unable to make a vmnet module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config3/vmnet.o': -1 Unknown symbol in
module
There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

This surprised me since just two weeks ago I rebuilt the VMware modules
successfully when I upgraded the kernel.

So, I figured no big deal I'll just re-install the older version of VMware and
re-run vmware-config.pl to get back to where I was. Well, that didn't work! I
am getting the same error.

The one thing I tried was to re-run "make cloneconfig" and "make prepare-all"
but that didn't help.

Here is some info on my system:

# uname -a
Linux paulsen 2.6.11.4-21.10-smp #1 SMP Tue Nov 29 14:32:49 UTC 2005 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

# rpm -qa | grep VMware
VMwareWorkstation-4.5.2-8848

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks.
