Installare VMware Server 2.0.2 su CentOS 64bit

[PGpaolo]

Ciao a tutti, non ci salto fuori! Quando tento di installare VMware Server 2.0.2...

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]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel?
[/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-xxxx-std-ipv4-64-mod/build/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

... che può essere? Qualche idea?
Grazie

non so se è il tuo caso ma ho trovato questo
On The Peoplesoft Road: VMWare 2.0.2 on CentOS 5.4

e dice:
"After a lot of research, it appears that VMWare 2.0.2 does not like the glibc and glibc-common libraries coming within CentOS 5.4."

Ciao WizOfOz, non era quello il problema; ho comunque appena risolto... se può ritornare utile ad altri ecco la soluzione:

# cd /usr/src
# wget http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1321950-26108/vmware-server-modules-2629.tar.gz
# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# mkdir oldsources
# mv *.tar oldsources/
# tar xzf /usr/src/vmware-server-modules-2629tar.gz

infine, rieseguire lo script di configurazione VMware Server 2.0.2

# vmware-config.pl

Prima non avevo specificato, ma hai comunque centrato: CentOS 5.4 64bit!
Grazie per la risposta

[PGpaolo]

# cd /usr/src
# wget http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1321950-26108/vmware-server-modules-2629.tar.gz
# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# mkdir oldsources
# mv *.tar oldsources/
# tar xzf /usr/src/vmware-server-modules-2629tar.gz
[/CODE]

Ho dimenticato un PUNTO!

# tar xzf /usr/src/vmware-server-modules-2629tar.gz
LEGGASI BENE
# tar xzf /usr/src/vmware-server-modules-2629.tar.gz

Ciao!
