VMware Server 1.0.6 - Ubuntu 10.10 - 2.6.35-22-server -- compile errors

I'm battling a Vmware Server 1.0.6 compile issue on Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64. After fighting w/ the script to see where my kernel-headers were located, I now get the following string of errors --- not really sure how to fix this:

Building the vmmon module.

I had to symlink this:

/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-server/include/generated/autoconf.h

to

/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-server/include/

which got me past the kernel-headers error, but now I'm stuck at the error output above.

any thoughts?

Have you considered using the most recent last version 2.0.2?

kapshureAuthor Commented:
well we've ran that in the past. the current VMDK's have all been running under 1.0.6. We moved off of 2.0.x b/c of instability/performance issues.

I've built this same Vmware server release on CentOS 5.x -- and had header problems then, but not the problems to the extent i'm having today.

Okay. No further developement of VMware Server is being done by VMware, and you may want to investigate the free Type 1 Hypervisor ESXi, which will perform far better than 1.0.6. Although you will have to dedicate a server to it, which must on on the Hardware Compatibility List, if you are using VIrtual Machines in a production environment.

That's good information to know; so the free Type 1 Hypervisor ESXi has a full blown Server side console, that is completely free? no trials?

Or you could stick with CentOS 5 (which has full support through sometime in 2014).

@mccracky

well, the lead here wanted to switch to Ubuntu 10.10 --- not really my call.

I abandoned the issue and the poster gave some insightful  comments, but we didnt address the root cause of errors I was seeing.

seems like vmware server 2.x and 2.6.35 kernel needs some massaging to work.

oh well
