[wzmwilson]

帮忙看看，从接受协议后的出错信息，到底是哪需要调整。
Do you accept? (yes/no) y

Thank you.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] y

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? [/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/build/include]

不会吧，居然没有人给个说法。

[yongyi]

我来也。

代码： 全选

uname -r

显示，然后

代码： 全选

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

如果你还没安装GCC等一堆东东，请：

代码： 全选

sudo apt-get install build-essential

这样应该可以了吧。

如果还是有点问题，
要include 的路径可以从这找到：/lib/modules/<<module release number>>/build/include

[wzmwilson]

上面几步都已经有做过了。还是不行的。

[yongyi]

那我不清楚了。
刚才搜索一下，主页文档也有哦：
http://www.ubuntu.org.cn/support/docume ... erm=vmware

不过也差不多的了。

[wzmwilson]

是啊，我就是按照文档说明的步骤，一步一步进行下来的，结果到最后一步时就出错了。（内核？编译？）

[yongyi]

如果安装了
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686 （这是我的）
应该就可以的吧。

并且可以build-essential也不用装，只装gcc 就可以了吧？

刚才去了官方论坛看看，好像有的人可以，有的不可以 ：

[wzmwilson]

很好很好，根据yongyi的提示，现在已经成功安装了。

可以说过问题的关键吗？
这样可以让我们修改文档，并方便后来的兄弟。
谢谢了。

1. Since VMware does not support any of the current Hoary kernels (2.6.10-x), you will have to build the vmware modules during the installation, so there are something you have to load before you start installing Vmware.
b. linux-source (apt-get install linux-source-xxx). For instance, mine is 2.6.10 for my running kernel 2.6.10-5-686
2. the kernel source does not get installed after you apt-get, so you will need to go to the /usr/src dir and manually untar it. After you get the directory, then do "ln -sf you_linux_source_dir linux". This will create a symblic link named "linux" under the same dir.

个人觉得以上这两点比较关键。
安装了vmware workstation 5后，我又将其卸载。下了个4.0版的，安装时仍然无法通过，难道是版本问题。
