My upgrade removed VMWAREServer, from system tools etc. What sucks more is the package is deleted. Now when I try to re-install from the source files on the vmware server site I get compile errors.



Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

I tried the advice for some any-any patch and it did not work. Not sure what to do now. I need to login to my vms for work.

Anyone got any ideas?
