I have forgotten to install the gcc-c++ compiler on openSuSE 11.1 64Bit. The patch works fine, thank you.

ThanX

This built the modules but I’m getting “Version mismatch with vmmon module: expected 169.0, got 161.0. This is with VMWare Player 2.5.3. Any idea which version I should install instead?

Thanks, Adrian.

Excellent fix. Let the world point here. If VMWare are too lame to fix their own bugs, why don’t they hire you?

It works fine, thank you, but there is a problem with wlan0. It cannot be bridged on wlan0, and this is a big problem for me

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I’ve been battling for the last 48 hours with both Virtualbox (on Ubuntu 9.04) and VMware Player, then VMWare Server just to get a sensible file sync system going on my WM5 mobile device (so it’s technically Microsoft’s fault for being so slimey).

The VMWare stuff has been running me in circles ALL DAY and your patch has worked.

I have the same error… but the solution is:
i install the vmware workstation 5.5.3
but it’s the same server or workstation…
tar -xvzf WMare…..
cd vmware-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl

then next next next

and the same error…

solution:

you need to download vmware-update-2.6.27-5.5.7-2.tar.gz

tar -xvzf vmware-update …..

cd vmware-update….

sudo ./runme.pl

next next next

and works!!!
but other error…

you need to copy libs

#cd /usr/lib/
#cp libglib-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0/
#cp libgmodule-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0/
#cp libgobject-2.0.so.0 vmware/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0/
#cp libgthread-2.0.so.0 vmware/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0/
#cp libXrender.so.1 vmware/lib/libXrender.so.1/
#cp libgio-2.0.so.0 vmware/lib/<— new
#cp libX11.so.6 vmware/lib/ <— new
#cp libpng12.so.0 vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/
#cd /
