fails miserably. I'm guessing other distributions shipping with the 2.6.24 suffer from the same problem. The trouble starts when the installer tries to build the vmxnet network driver.
The error I'm getting is:
In file included from /tmp/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c:36:
/tmp/vmxnet-only/vm_basic_types.h:161: error: conflicting types for ‘uintptr_t’
I found the following web page that hosts a number of patches and pre-patched sources solving the problem. http://projects.tuxx-home.at/?id=vmware_updates
