I emerged vmware; however, when trying to configure it, I'm seeing the following...
Extracting the sources of the vmmon module. Building the vmmon module. Building for VMware Workstation 4.5.2 or VMware GSX Server 3.1.0.

You may want to rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory. For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, please visit our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html"; and "http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.html";. I've seen that some people (who are using Suse) are saying one needs to cd into /usr/src/linux then run make cloneconfig and one other command; however, when I try to run make cloneconfig I get errors indicating that cloneconfig is not a valid option to build... Has anyone out there run into this? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
