Hi, Nearly same problem here. Installation works fine, but when I run vmware (it's the same with player) I obtain the following message : filename: /lib/modules/3.8.12-desktop-2.mga3/misc/vmmon.ko supported: external license: GPL v2 description: VMware Virtual Machine Monitor. author: VMware, Inc. srcversion: EA50A720BAE15C9881C1AD2 depends: vermagic: 3.8.12-desktop-2.mga3 SMP mod_unload modversions PANIC /build/mts/release/bora-1031769/bora/lib/unicode/unicodeCommon.c:330 Abandon Vmware is 9.0.2 and Mageia is RC with last updates. Thanks for your help.

Oh, this is mga3 final and Vmware is 9.0.2
Fixed. As root do: mv /etc/vmware/icu/icudt44l.dat /etc/vmware/icu/icudt44l.dat.bak
(In reply to Oden Eriksson from comment #8) > Fixed. As root do: > > mv /etc/vmware/icu/icudt44l.dat /etc/vmware/icu/icudt44l.dat.bak It works ! Thanks !
Super !! Works great !! How did you figure out this workaround?
Summary: vmware modules will not compile under Mageia 3 beta 4 => vmware modules will not compileSource RPM: unknown => vmware

Thanks a lot, it works great !
Closing as OLD. Please reopen if valid in Mageia 4 & 5 (although I'm not sure our bugzilla is meant to handle bug reports about VMWare's build)
