VMWare 8 on Ubuntu 11.10: " Unable to build kernel module "-ERROR
Hello guys,
Downloaded the latest VMWare workstation from their homepage, executed and installed it.
On first run it asked me for installing the gnu c compiler, which i did.
When i try to run vmware again, i met this error, and although i found other issues related to this, none of the solutions seemed to be for ubuntu 11.10 with kernel 3.0.0-17.
I am running an Ubuntu Minimal + LXDE setup, so I am missing several of packages that are standard in regular 11.10 install. Might this affect it?
Attached a screenshot, also the log output:
Grateful for any unput, thanks!Code:2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: Log for VMware Workstation pid=4923 version=8.0.2 build=build-591240 option=Release 2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: The process is 64-bit. 2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: Host codepage=UTF-8 encoding=UTF-8 2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: Host is Linux 3.0.0-17-generic Ubuntu 11.10 2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: Msg_Reset: 2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: [msg.dictionary.load.openFailed] Cannot open file "/usr/lib/vmware/settings": No such file or directory. 2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: ---------------------------------------- 2012-04-08T00:29:19.603+01:00| vthread-3| I120: PREF Optional preferences file not found at /usr/lib/vmware/settings.
