2.6.15-archck and vmware

grail · 2006-01-19 02:29:58

I installed kernel26archck-2.6.15.archck2-3 today and it seems to be running well. But now I cannot setup vmware again.
Vmware was running fine on the vanilla Arch 0.7.1 kernel but when I try to configure it now I get the error:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.

Any suggestions?

Has no one else experienced this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix?

I don't know what exactly causes this problem, but here is the suggestion:
check if the path to kernel headers points to archck headers, not the default arch kernel headers. It is better to enter the path manually in vmwareconfig's prompt.

Multiple solutions are on the gentoo forums here:

edit vmware-config.pl

find this area:

                    . 'not have the same address space size as your running '
                    . 'kernel.' . "nn", 0);
       }
      return '';
     }
   }

change the one line so it looks like this

                    . 'not have the same address space size as your running '
                    . 'kernel.' . "nn", 0);
       }
#      return '';
     }
   }

and it should be fine..

Thanks iphitus for the suggestion, it now works (well is now builing) also big thanks for doing such a good job with archck.

THX iphitus too, I was strugling with that problem alot.
Fun thing is vmware-config.pl was running find with a vanilla kernel (2.6.15.2) manual installed ?? but not with the kernel-2.6.15-archck. from the /var/abs !!

could you please tell me how can i edit the vmware-config.pl file?

VMware is working without the need of editing vmware-config.pl
Just build the vmware from AUR (mikos has done a great job), it includes the latest any-any patch which is enough to configure vmware properly.
