Subject: [gentoo-user] cannot configure native vmware tools
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:22:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53e35fd50910202222t222ca3f5mc9ad7ee30953eca8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

hi,

my gentoo x64 kernel is compiled by genkernel. after i have installed
the native tool, i am asked to run the vmware-config-toos.pl. but it
says none of the pre-build vmmemctl modules is suitable for my running
kernel, and it tries to rebuild it. but it looks like it cannot find
my kernel source file correctly. it says

"/usr/src/linux/include" is a kernel header file directory, but it is
not part of kernel source tree.

why? is it because i am using genkernel, or the kernel source is
patched by gentoo?
