VMWare Server 2 – Unable to build the vsock module

Posted by sebastian on 16 March 2010 Leave a comment (2) Go to comments

Just a quick Post, the solution for the “Unable to build the vsock module” error message if you install VMWare Server 2 on Debian or Ubuntu:

tar xvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vsock.tar
cd vsock-only
sed -i 's/^\#include
//' autoconf/*.c
make
cp vsock.o /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc
ln -s vsock.o /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc/vsock.ko
depmod -a
invoke-rc.d vmware restart
