在Fedora Core 6上安装Vmware Server （英文转自Fedora官方网）
I experienced some issues with installing VMWare Server on FC6 duetodependencies and deprecated files in the new kernel. I found thatthefollowing steps help to resolve difficulty in installing VMWareServeron FC6.1. The yellow dog updater yum has issues installingthekernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2749.fc6. First you need to upgrade to thenewestkernel.
a. Execute the following command '[color=Red]yum install kerne[/color]l'
b. Then[color=Red] reboot [/color]your workstation/server
2. Install the current kernel-devel library for your running kernel.
a. Execute the following command [color=Red]'yum install kernel-devel[/color]'
b. This will unpack the necessary files for vmware to compile its modules that are needed.
3. VMWare requires that xinetd be installed. At first appearance xinetd appears to be installed, but it's not!
a. Execute the following command '[color=Red]yum install xinetd[/color]'
b. This will then install xinetd for use by VMWare Server.
[color=Red]4. Install the latest RPM from www.vmware.com for VMWare Server.[/color]
[color=Red] a. Execute the following 'rpm -ivh (the name of the newest RPM)[/color]
[color=Red] b. The installation will complete but continue to step 5 because it is not complete[/color].
5. The configuration of VMWare Server looks for a fileoflinux/config.h. The configuration will not succeed due to the fileismissing. I went back to an installation of FC5 to look at this fileandthe below information was given:
#ifndef _LINUX_CONFIG_H
#define _LINUX_CONFIG_H
/* This file is no longer in use and kept only for backward compatibility.
* autoconf.h is now included via -imacros on the commandline
*/
#warning Including config.h is deprecated.
#include <linux/autoconf.h>
#if !defined (__KERNEL__) && !defined(__KERNGLUE__)
#error including kernel header in userspace; use the glibc headers instead!
#endif
#endif
Looking at this we find that the config.h file has been deprecatedandno longer exists in FC6. However, the VMWare serverconfigurationrequires it.
a. Copy the above config.h file and create the config.h file or create a blank file in its place.
b. Then the configuration of VMWare Server should bring you success.
6. After the RPM is install the application of vmware needs to be configured.
a. Execute the following /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
b. Notice if step 5 has not been executed this configuration will fail.
