My kernel version is 2.6.27-gentoo-r10

And I try to install VMware-server-1.0.9

Up-to-date gcc.

When I install vmware-server, ./vmware-install.pl

there is an error.

This is error information

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If 1.0.9 is not a necessity, you may want to try vmware-server in
portage(1.0.8) instead.

$ sudo emerge -pv vmware-server
[ebuild  N    ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r2  483 kB
[ebuild  N    ] app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.8.126538  104,611 kB

As an addition, if you build kernel manually, turning CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS on
beforehand or vmware-modules will refuse to compile.

$ cd /usr/src/linux
$ sudo make menuconifg
  (Kernel hacking) --> (Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols) --> (y)
$ sudo make && make modules_install

Boot the machine with new kernel and issue the above 'emerge' command
should bring
you a working vmware-server.

Perfect

Thank you.

One more question.

I couldn't install vmware-modules



in /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/Changelog
it seems that 1.0.0.23 don't support kernel2.6.27.
right?

1.0.0.23 does support kernel > 2.6.27, according to the change log.

In your case, as you can see from the 'emerge' output, it is the
vmware-server package to block vmware-modules > 1.0.0.15.

In other words, if you want to install vmware-server, stay with
vmware-modules-1.0.0.15 might be the only option.
