Has anyone been able to install vmware on openSUSE 10.2?

Which one? VMWare Server or VMWare Workstation?

It is complaining that:
The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does
not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18.2-34-default).
I have:
kernel-default-2.6.18.2-34
kernel-syms-2.6.18.2-34
kernel-source-2.6.18.2-34

No problems with

VMwareWorkstation-5.5.3-34685
kernel-default-2.6.18.5-jen40b
vmware_kernel-105.40b-jen4
(install and run vmware-config, voila)

and uname -a shows:
Linux suse102 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't know if there are any particular issues with 64 bit processors,
but I suppose you have done at least a make cloneconfig + make
modules_prepare on your kernel sources.

No no no. "kernel-source" is already prepared enough.


How about make cloneconfig && make prepare-all. It is what I use every
time I install a new kernel and don't have problems.
