VMware won't build on new (but old) kernel
by lucmove from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DE1T)
I am still running Debian 9 Stretch except I upgraded from kernel 4.9 to 4.19.
Everything seems to be working well except VMplayer. It says:
"Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel."
I click "Install." It fails and points to a log.
Can someone please decipher all this gobbledygook?

Everything seems to be working well except VMplayer. It says:
"Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel."
I click "Install." It fails and points to a log.
Can someone please decipher all this gobbledygook?
