P50:/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source # ls -l P50:/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source # tar -xvf vmnet.tar P50:~ # cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source I followed the instructions to unpack and make from source as root and ran into the following su. I have also run into this problem in Tumbleweed when installing VMWare Workstation 12 Pro. Just copy and paste this into a root terminal:Ĭp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmmon.koĬp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmnet.ko Hey man, I found your problem on the third page of some forum post from a couple years ago Hopefully it's not a case of VMware Workstation not being supported on tumbleweed. I've also added other packages i've seen suggested around the internet, such as make, kernel-syms, kernel-source. I then enter /usr/bin/gcc, which doesn't work, then I try /usr/bin/gcc-5 - still no joy. In the dialogue box I then manually enter /usr/bin - that doesn't work.

So, I search for the packages in YaST and install gcc and gcc-5, and then find that they are stored in /usr/bin. Now, when I try to open the application, a dialogue box appears telling me I need GNU C Compiler version 5.2.1 and if it isn't installed in the default path, to manually enter the path.

VMware-Workstation-Full-12.1.0-3272444.x86_64.bundleThe installation ran smoothly with no issues.
