vmware does not compile modules for kernel 2.6.26 [SOLVED]
I installed vmware-any-any-update117d and tried the command /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl --compile (I also tried /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl without any option) but it does not tries to compile the modules.
Entering /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ directory I can successfully compile the modules on my own.
I removed completely vmware and reinstalled it but without any success.
Any ideas?
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl --compile

This thread might help in compiling the modules.

Re: vmware does not compile modules for kernel 2.6.26 [SOLVED]
Ok. I managed to make it work. I compiled the modules from vmware-any-any-update117d. I them was complaining for wrong version o the module vmmon (168 against 167). I had to patch the file iocontrols.h and now it seems to work fine.
