Quick note on VMware products and openSUSE 11.2: There is a slightly different package selection needed to be able to successfully have VMware products build & run on openSUSE 11.2.

These are the packages you need to have installed:

kernel-sources
kernel-syms #will also add dev packages
make #used to be selected by default
gcc
gcc++

Having the above packages VMware Workstation 6.5.3 and above should build normally.

Possibly this is what's needed to get VMware Server 2.x up and running though I haven't tested it.
