Install of RC on SuSE 10.1

I have been unable to install parallels on my SuSE 10.1 box. It is a core 2 duo running x86-64 SMP kernel. the error file is enclosed below.

I have been reading the forums and there is a thread saying I have to patch the Kernel. Is this the only way to get it installed on SuSE 10.1 or have others succeeded without this step? Any help gratefully accepted.

I'm wondering if this might be an x86-64 vs. x86 issue. I have it installed in SuSE 10.1 and had no problem with the install. However, I did this on a plain 32-bit system. In addition, one thing that might have made a difference is that in /usr/src/linux I have done a make cloneconfig and make scripts.

Your problem is you don't have a compiler installed, as the error message states. Install it through yast and you will be fine.

You're talking about the c++ compiler. He does have a C compiler (gcc) installed.

 

It is not the compiler. I have installed gcc c++ andd I still get the a similar error report.

The last bit of the log appears to be the relevant bit. I wounder if the "checking freezing kthreads patch" is the kernal patch needed for successful installation, any ideas?

pentastarch,

You are using an smp kernel. This will not work with Parallels.
.

 

Problem is in the x86_64 arch.

checking for x86 platform... configure: error: x86 platform is not supported

This message mean: x86_64 platform is not supported.

Thank you, we will fix this typo.

PS: SMP Kernels are supported by Parallels.

Sorry.
