There seems to be something missing from the port. When I try to power on the machine, I get the following error message (in a Motif message box): "Could not open /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/vmm (No such file or directory)." There really is no such file or directory. Should there be one? It's possible that it's looking for a file called vmmsomething, but there is no room in the message box to print the full name. Here is what I did: 1) Compiled the latest -current (as of a few hours ago) 2) Downloaded and installed the latest port 3) Downloaded a license file 4) kldload'ed vmmon.ko 5) Faked /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo and meminfo (copied from a Linux box) 6) Started the vmware program (in /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin) 7) Created a config file using the vmware configuration editor. Here it is: #!/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware ide0:0.present = TRUE ide0:0.fileName = "/usr/local/vmware/solaris" ide1:0.present = TRUE ide1:0.deviceType = "atapi-cdrom" ide1:0.fileName = "/dev/rwcd0c" floppy0.present = TRUE 8) Tried to power on the machine Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
