After upgrading Ubuntu to 8.04, I ran into an error reconfiguring VMware with vmware-config.pl:
include/asm/bitops_32.h:9:2: error: #error only can be included directly, and vmmon-only compile failes
I found a
helpful blog describing 10 easy steps to fix the problem. Here is the list of steps (security issues corrected)
- cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
- cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.orig
- sudo tar xvf vmmon.tar
- cd vmmon-only/include/
- sudo vi vcpuset.h
- change line 74 from: #include “asm/bitops.h” to: #include “linux/bitops.h”
- rm vmmon.tar
- sudo tar cvf vmmon.tar vmmon-only/
- sudo rm -rf vmmon-only/
- sudo vmware-config.pl
After this, I could start VMware. Robert, thank you.
