Forgive my ignorance, but we're at 7.1 I think. I'm not sure how much it is for an upgrade. I use VMware Player 3.1 (free) myself and I use it on my Windows 7 hosts.

All,
I know this is a long shot but is anyone still using vmware 6.5 for linux? I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.32 and now I can't get the vmware monitor kernel module to compile. I'm looking for hints & tips as to how to figure out why it won't compile.
I've looked in the logs in /tmp but there doesn't seem to be any error messages there. I presume there are error messages on screen but I can't see them and orca won't read them because the compile is run as root.
I know from past experience that instead of running vmware as a regular user and giving it the root password to compile, you can instead open a terminal window and run vmware as root. It then starts compiling the modules and you get access to the compiler messages. I did that and it seemed to work. Only when I run vmware, it still wants to compile and install the vmmon module. Vmware still runs and I have even created a virtual machine (I think). But the machine won't run without the vmmon module.
You can open a gnome terminal window and type 'su
