When trying to run: /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl After installation, and linking to the custom 2.4.19 kernel installed during 1.0 install, the following error is received (Duplicated on two seperate machines): Building the vmmon module. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/driver-2.4.19' In file included from .././linux/driver.c:38: /lib/modules/2.4.19/build/include/linux/malloc.h:4: #error linux/malloc.h is deprecated, use linux/slab.h instead. make[2]: *** [driver.d] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/driver-2.4.19' make[1]: *** [deps] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' make: *** [auto-build] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' Unable to build the vmmon module.
This is fixed if you use linux-sources-2.4.19-r1 See Bug #1540 for some more info.
