Re: VMware Workstation Module Compilation (etch)
Thanks for the letters from Liam and Greg!

Could you (or someone) please explain the step-by-step sequence to
apply the above patch to install VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175 on
Debian/etch?
Here's what I just did:
o Made sure that I had the correct "linux-headers" installed
o Ran ./vmware-installer.pl up until the point it had
the "header file" problems
(Note that I couldn't *first* apply the patch since /etc/vmware
doesn't exist until at least a partial vmware install has been done.)
o Once I got the "header file" error, I used Control-Z to suspend
the install script. I then applied the above patch with
./runme.pl, and allowed it to go ahead and do the vmware config.
o The modules built (with some warnings),
o I then killed the suspended install script
o Tried to run 'vmware'
It didn't work ... 'vmware' won't run (missing libraries, etc).
Sorry for being so dense ...
