Therefore, when you run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl, it will try to compile the modules such as vmnet.o. To get the compile to run successfully on any system, you need to have the kernel-source installed and configured to look like the running kernel. On 8.0, you need to "CC=/usr/bin/gcc" prefix or you will get an error when you run vmware-config.pl. -- Gene -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
