I tried to install from source VMware v4.5.2 Build 8848 on mY SuSE10
box. Unfortunately the build does not finish properly.

I get this output from the process:

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Building the vmmon module.

Execution aborted.

I can't find much useful info on this on the VMware support pages.
SuSE was installed with ALL Kernel sources, a complete install.
Module.symvers is indeed not in my Linux src directory. Should it ?

Help apperciated.
Thanks

You have to do some preparations before you can compile the VMWare
Modules with vmware-config.pl

cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make bzImage
make modules

Takes a lot of time, but VMware should run after this

Only the first two steps plus a "make prepare" should be sufficient. Takes a
lot less time... :)
