Same here. The Google groups has a link to a patch which addresses this
issue. I've just installed it and whilst it gives compilation warnings,
the
modules build and install OK.
I'm now happily running VMWare 2.0.4 under Linux 2.4.7. So, to make this
work first download the patch:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz
Then copy it to the '/usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/source' directory.
Next,
run:
cd /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/source
gunzip vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz
After that, make a backup of the existing 'vmmon.tar' file and copy the
new
one into its place:
cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.backup
mv vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar vmmon.tar
Finally, run:
vmware-config.pl
to set things up. That should give you a working VMWare installation
again.
Regards,
Carl.

In my previous post, part of the fix consisted of:

Which is incorrect. It _should_ read:
> mv vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.backup
> mv vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar vmmon.tar
Sorry for any confusion. In fact, I typoed an earlier correction to this
(ctrl-enter instead of enter) and sent an incomplete message to the
list. I
cancelled it, but it still seems to be present so please ignore it.... I
must need more caffeine!
