ciao, volevo installare vmware, ma nn ci riesco, lo script d´installazione mi chiede:
 What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to
 rc6.d/)?
 non so indicare la directory. posto input
 
 
 bash-3.00# ./vmware-install.pl
 A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.
 
 The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 3).
 
 Keeping the tar3 installer database format.
 
 Uninstalling the tar installation of VMware Workstation.
 
 The removal of VMware Workstation 5.0.0 build-13124 for Linux completed
 successfully. Thank you for having tried this software.
 
 Installing the content of the package.
 
 In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
 [/usr/bin]
 
 What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to
 rc6.d/)?

Ciao io ho seguito questa guida: 
 http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~jbyrne/vmware.htm 
 è molto semplice e spiega tutto, anche come fare per il tuo dubbio. 
 Per ogni domanda chiedi pure, io l´ho installato. 
 Ciao!

grazie Esaltato,
 ho seguito la guida, ma nn capisco questo passaggio: for i in {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}; do mkdir rc$i.d; done
 
 
 You might want to do the following:
  cd /etc
 mkdir init.d
 for i in {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}; do mkdir rc$i.d; done

crea semplicemente le dir /etc/init.d/rc0.d, rc1.d, ecc..., tipiche dei sistemi con boot stile system V. slackware usa il boot stile bsd, x questo non ha quelle dir. molto intelligentemente il setup di vmware presume che tutti usino il system v, quindi pretende di trovare quelle dir, che quindi devi creare a mano. dopo l´installazione sposti lo script che ti crea in /etc/init.d in /etc/rc.d/rc.vmware e lo lanci da rc.local, a post.

ciao,
 
 ho seguito i passaggi, ma nn vuole avviarsi,

 VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
 for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
 following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.

prova a leggere quel messaggio... e lancia quel comando.

 Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
 
 None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your
 running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
 your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
 
 Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
 
 What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
 kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.10/build/include]

 There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
 set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
 rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

 Execution aborted

ho trovato questa piccola utility, ma nn funziona comunque
 
 Prima di iniziare l´installazione
 
 prova ad andare in questa directory da una shell con permessi di root
 /usr/src/linux
 e poi dai il comando
 make cloneconfig
 e dopo
 make prepare-all
 poi ritenta la compilazione dei modulo vmware ...
 nota il kernel e i sorgenti del kernel devono essere allineati quindi fai l´ update nel caso.
 
 il comando: make cloneconfig, nn va´

che kernel usi? come l´hai installato? forse ti servono gli header del 2.6.

uso il kernel 2.6.10 l´ho installato seguendo la guida README.initrd del cd 2 slackware 10.1
