VMware Server 1.04 su Fedora 8

Dopo aver fatto l’update del kernel della Fedora 8 dalla versione 2.6.23.15-137 alla versione 2.6.24.3-12 il tool vmware-config.pl mi tornava questo errore:
/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/./include/compat_wait.h:60: error: conflicting types for ‘poll_initwait’
include/linux/poll.h:65: error: previous declaration of ‘poll_initwait’ was here
/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:172: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:176: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/vmmon-only’
Unable to build the vmmon module.

Girando un po’ per la rete ho scoperto come risolvere il problema, ovvero scaricate questo file, e date:

tar xvfj vmware.tar.bz2
cd vmware/
cp vm* /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
