Re: VMware Player on Slackware64

Hello Willy
First of all, thank you for your prompt answer.

Unfortunately, VMware Player 4.0.4 doesn't install either.

/var/log/vmware-install.log shows that installation starts correctly, then at some time

I'm running a vanilla Slackware64 14.0; this is the output of "uname -a":

Linux vega 3.2.29 #2 SMP Mon Sep 17 14:19:22 CDT 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux


Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Manuel
