Hi Cristian.

I had the idea I was, but I wasn't. Now it works.
Thanks!

I now have that problem:

<snipped>

make[4]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/linux/hostif.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [_module_/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only] Error 2
make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.8-0.3-obj/i386/xen'
make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only'
Unable to build the vmmon module.

For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, please
visit our Web site at
"http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html"; and
"http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.html";

First of all, can you double check that your running kernel version matches
the kernel source as above. You're not running the Xen kernel by any chance
are you?

Execution aborted.

I have run the:

cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make prepare

What's wrong ?

At the very simplest, the script cannot build the vmmon kernel module :-) The
real question, of course, is why is it exiting out. VMware workstation is
pretty straightforward on 10.2. If it's still failing miserably, you could
try using the any-any update from here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Setting_up_VMware_on_SUSE_Linux#Download_and_Apply_vmware-any-any-update

Hope this helps,
Jon
