I have been foolish enough to upgrade my VMware server release (on

didn't really expect it to launch. Please take a look at the attached
error message file. It looks like the install process doesn't like
c++. Is that because I need to upgrade the kernel? I am currently on
2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 and the VMware I am trying to install is
VMware-server-1.0.3-44356 and any-any 113.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Is that the end of the log? Those warnings are not unusual, but (in
Workstation, at least) they are usually followed by messages about
success loading the vmmon module, then attempts to compile and load the
vmnet module. Your log has no indication of an actual error that stops
the build, but no indication of success either.
This was no log just output from stderr.
If the build really did succeed, then can you post the result of trying
to start the VM from a command line? Is there anything unusual in dmesg
or /var/log/messages about starting the service at boot?
There are no messages from command line launch. The VM just ends without
any message. I have come to believe that it is due to harware problems
with the partition in which the VM lives. I will proceed with this
assumption by creating a new VM in another partition and see if I can
reinstall the OS there.
If it is correct what you say (I have no reason to believe otherwise) I
should soon be up and running.
At first I thought the problem was due to a faulty vmware-config.pl but it
turned out that the culprit was a disk error in the directory holding the
vertual machine. I had to regen my guest operating system which I hate (W2K) but
at least I can now use it again for those programs that cannot run on Linux.
What a relief.
