Hm. Have you tried installing a "stock" Ubuntu image in the VM? Maybe the 8.10 release?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 11:29 PM, Montana Quiring <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:montanaq@gmail.com">montanaq@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I would appreciate any advice on this.<br>
<br>
I'm using the latest Vmware Fusion on a Mac.<br>
In a VM image I've installed Ubuntu 8.4 Remix (it's the one that Dell<br>
tweaked for the Dell Mini's)<br>
The next step was to install the vmware tools since I had no networking...<br>
When I run:<br>
sudo ./vmware-install.pl<br>
...the install ticks along OK until I get to this point:<br>
<SNIP><br>
None of the pre-built vmmemctl modules for VMware Tools is suitable for your<br>
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmemctl module<br>
for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?<br>
[yes]<br>
<br>
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.<br>
<br>
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running<br>
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16/include<br>
<br>
The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16/include" is a kernel header file<br>
directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected.<br>
This can happen if the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the<br>
"make mrproper" command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want to<br>
rebuild your kernel.<br>
<br>
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running<br>
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]<br>
</SNIP><br>
<br>
NOTE: I had to copy across (on a USB flash drive) and install the<br>
header files as they weren't already there (from what I could find)<br>
<br>
I've started the process of preparing to recompile the kernel, but got<br>
stuck in deb package hell trying to satisfy the dependancies of<br>
build-essential<br>
<br>
Can anyone offer any advice about how to get networking working, as<br>
that would make getting everything else working easier.<br>
