dkms detected the new kernel and built my nvidia module while rebooting into the new kernel when I tried to build the new vmware module, I got the following: ******************************* Building the vmmon module.

Execution aborted. ************************************* To my untrained eye, it looks like errors in the vmware script "expected declaration specifiers...." but I've been using this same script to build new modules for the past several months. Does anyone spot anything that could be causing this? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
