The trial version of VMware Workstation 9 expired last night. I bought
a new version but after the expiration I found it would not accept an
entry for a new key so I ran the vmware uninstall app. and installed the
new one from scratch. It starts but only runs to the point where I get
the message:
VMware kernel module updater
Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and
installed in the running kernel.
Cancel - Install
I click on install and that does nothing.
Starting vmware from the command line produces the following errors:
[root@box10 bobg]# cat /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-modconfig-6296.log

Perhaps someone has experience with VMware and can make a suggestion?
