How to Install VMWare Workstation on Fedora Core 9 with Kernel 2.6.26.5
I’ve found a problem in my installation of VMware Server on Fedora Core 9 with Kernel 2.6.26.5.
“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”.
Execution aborted.”
To solve this issue I’ve updated VMware files.
Download here –>> http://groups.google.com/group/vmkernelnewbies/files
vmware-any-any-update117d.tar.gz – this is correct file for build VMware modules on Fedora Core 9
Procedures:
Save installation of VMware Server and vmware-any-any update117d.tar.gz in your disk then unzip both:
shell> tar -xvzf vmware-any-any-update117d.tar.gz
shell> tar -xvzf vmware-workstation-xxx.tar.gz
shell> cd vmware-workstation-xxx
shell> sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Follow the steps and the error message then appear. In this moment execute:
shell> cd ..
shell> cd vmware-any-any-update117d
shell> sudo ./runme.pl
Answer Yes in question about execute /../vmware-config.pl then proceed with other normally options and finish the installation.
Enjoy!!!
