None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

You have already setup networking. Would you like to skip networking setup and keep your old settings as they are? (yes/no) [yes] Do you want this script to automatically configure your system to allow your Virtual Machines to access the host's filesystem? (yes/no/help) [yes] This system appears to have a CIFS/SMB server (Samba) configured for normal use. If this server is intended to run, you need to make sure that it will not conflict with the Samba server setup on the private network (the one that we use to share the host's filesystem). Please check your /etc/samba/smb.conf file so that: . The "interfaces" line does not contain "172.16.75.1/255.255.255.0" . There is a "socket address" line that contains only your real host IP address Hit enter to continue.

Your system appears to already be set up with usernames and passwords for accessing the host's filesystem. Would you like to add another username and password at this time? (yes/no/help) [no] You can add more usernames at any time by invoking the following command as root: "/usr/local/bin/vmware-smbpasswd vmnet1 -a " The configuration of VMware Workstation 3.2.0 build-2230 for Linux for this running kernel completed successfully. You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command: "/usr/local/bin/vmware". Enjoy, --the VMware team c
