Description Darren Greer 2002-04-07 08:57:19 UTC 
After installation of vmware-workstation, one must run: 
	/opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl

This uses the installed kernel (from 1.0 install), and produces the following
error:

Building the vmmon module.

make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only'
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only'

In file included from .././linux/driver.c:38:

This is fixed if you use linux-sources-2.4.19-r1 (rather than straight 2.4.19)
