    Heal VMware Workstation 7.1.4 on BT5

    Hello and welcome friends...
    I'm working on (Backtrack 5 R1 kernel 2.6.39.4 KDE 4.5) based on (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid)
    My work depend on Virtual Network, on WIN7 VMware worked perfectly. in BT5
    I searched over and over [@] backtrack-linux, ubuntuforum, ubuntugeek, linux-question... etc forums but still can't compile module
    1- I tried 3 different installation of VMware Workstation 7.1, 7.1.3 and 7.1.4
    2- After installing trying to prepare the kernel and to unrar patching and re-rar (vmci - vsock - vmnet - vmmon)
    3- Compile Module
    Code:
    vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
    and this what I get



    If I run Vmware I got this message



    I did Install/Uninstall VMware Workstation, patching and reboot as much as I'm freak of vmware files which I think they are allover my root.

    Did I made any wrong require installing fresh copy of BT5 or there is a solution and I'm a dumb ?!
    Thanks in Advance

    P.S: I'M NEW TO LINUX .

    try tis link i think it wil be helpfull to u

    and also try tis procedure

    How to install VMware Workstation 7.1.4 on Kernel 2.6.39.4, tested on Backtrack 5 R1 KDE (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid)..
    1- Install VMware Workstation 7.1.4 from vmware.com (DON'T RUN) VMware will not run until you compile 5 module
    2- Download "vmware2.6.39fixed.patch" to compile the module manual (vmnet, vmmon, vmblock, vmci and vmsock)
    3- Copy the 5 module from the vmware installed directory to TMP, unrar, patch, re-rar and replace them back. Just follow step No. 4
    4- OPEN SHELL and follow to complete compile
    ~mkdir /tmp/vmware && cd /tmp/vmware
    ~cp -R /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ .
    ~cd /tmp/vmware/source
    ~for i in ./*.tar; do tar -xf $i; done
    ~for i in ./*.tar; do mv $i $i.orginal; done
    ~patch -t -f -p1 < vmware2.6.39fixed.patch
    ~tar cf vmblock.tar vmblock-only
    ~tar cf vmci.tar vmci-only
    ~tar cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
    ~tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
    ~tar cf vsock.tar vsock-only
    ~cp -vf *.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
    5- Run VMware.. It'll compile and you're ready to GO
