    VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386 Kubuntu Help

    Hi..

    I downloaded the Tar.gz file and went to install it. Everything was set at defaults..

    After getting thru the EULA I was told

    None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
    running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
    your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] y
    Building the vmmon module.

    I typed yes and got this :

    What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
    kernel?

    Default = [/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/build/include] Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

    Still not found a solution for this..

    I would much prefer Vmware over Virtual Machine as I am trying to run my magic jack.

      Make sure that you have the kernel-sources and kernel-header packages for your installed kernel installed.

        See my post here

        the installer's balking on module compile output. Fixed it with a gcc wrapper script to remove -W flags like this:

        Code:
        #!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import copy
import os
argv = copy.copy(sys.argv)
i = len(argv)
for i in range(i-1, 0, -1):
  if len(argv[i]) > 4 and argv[i][:2] == "-W" and argv[i][3] != ",":
    del argv[i]
argv[0] = "/usr/bin/gcc"
os.execv(argv[0], argv)
        chmod +x and move to /tmp/gcc
        Run sudo env PATH=/tmp:$PATH sh ./VMware-Installer.bundle

        and it went fine.
