I am using VMWare tools for Ubuntu Hardy, but for some reason vmware-install.pl finds fault with my LINUX headers. The error message says that the ‘address space size’ doesn’t match.
To try and remediate, I have resorted to vmware-any-any-update117, and am now getting the following error instead:
In file included from include/asm/page.h:3, from /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/common/hostKernel.h:56, from /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/common/task.c:30: include/asm/page_32.h: In function ‘pte_t native_make_pte(long unsigned int)’: include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘{’ token include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected primary-expression before ‘.’ token include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected `;' before ‘}’ token Can anyone help me make some sense of this, please?
