[SOLVED] Installing VMware

The GUI is fluxbox with xterm emulator . I already installed gksu gtkmm according to the wiki , but vmware cannot display . Even if I run vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

VirtualBox is able to display the window , but virtualbox is not powerful enough

Re: [SOLVED] Installing VMware

On Arch, do not install software outside of pacman. VMWare is in the AUR. Install it from there for starters.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing VMware

gcc make is required to compile kernel modules.

However , arch wiki just ignored gcc make . This means Linux-headers isn't enough .
By the way , are there any requirements for fuse2 gksu and gtkmm? To ensure the dependencies are enough

Please only post thumbnails, or better yet simply post text if the contents of your screenshot can be expressed as such https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

Technically the gcc dependency is in the ncurses part, because installing from AUR mandates that you install the packages from the base-devel or multilib-devel groups. However since the wiki isn't infallible and is also simply made up from contributions from the community, there's nothing stopping you from adding that information if you feel that it's important.
