Ugh! Yea -- forgot that the object files needed to have a ".ko"
extension. I typed that all up from memory.
Next step is to try to figure out why vmware still won't run. I'd
recommend editing /usr/bin/vmware (which is a shell script) to tweak the
bottom of the script from:
if "$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig --appname="VMware Workstation"
--icon="vmware-workstation"&&
vmware_module_exists $vmmon; then
exec "$libdir"/bin/"vmware" "$@"
fi
to look something like:
#if "$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig --appname="VMware Workstation"
--icon="vmware-workstation"&&
if vmware_module_exists $vmmon; then
exec "$libdir"/bin/"vmware" "$@"
fi
We may need to comment out running "$BINDIR"/vmware-modconfig
--appname="VMware Workstation" --icon="vmware-workstation" because
it
might be failing with a "Failed to get gcc information" error.
this
didn't help
If it still won't start then make a copy of the exec line inside
the
"if," comment out the copy, and edit the uncommented line to something like:
strace -o /tmp/debug.txt "$libdir"/bin/"vmware"
"$@"
/tmp/debug.txt is this:

Open /tmp/debug.txt and go to the bottom to look for some type of
error
that's happening.
I don't see any,. or does anybody see one?
I removed the soft link to /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.0
that I mentioned in the earlier post,
I did this before I did the modifications to
/usr/bin/vmware ...
made the changes to
/usr/bin/vmware, ran it, opened /tmp/debug.txt and I see a few lines
from the bottom several error lines where the app is trying to open
libexpat.so.0 from several different locations. Use strace to see if at
about the end of the /tmp/debug.txt file you see some error messages.
a little bit
often 'gettimeofday' ...
I don't know the reason ...
Thanks,
Walter
