Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

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

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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] 

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/2.6.9-gentoo-r4/build/include] 

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Comment 1 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-19 07:51:56 UTC 
What about -r2?

This should have already been fixed.  Also, I unmasked -r2 last night.
