Parallels Tools Fails to compile against kernel 2.6.38 (Fedora Core 15/Unbuntu 11.04)

[NBW2011]

The title says it all. Could be related to the issue posted in http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=107514. Here's the log -

This is all with Parallels Desktop Build 6.0.11994 (Revision 637263; February 17, 2011) on OS X 10.6.7.

I'm looking forward to this fix. I hate having to wait for Parallels to add support for newer Linux versions. I want to upgrade to Fedora 15, but I'll wait until Parallels supports it. I just hope it's quick.

Ditto

Thanks

Have you gotten the latest build?

With this build I've successfully installed Parallels Tools on Ubuntu 11.04, Fedora 15 and Mint 11. With some system tweaks I have also gotten them installed on Chakra.

Yes, I have the latest Parallels build, but I cannot install the tools on my Fedora 15 virtual machine.

The Parallels Tools are running fine on my Fedora 14 machine.

Hi BobbyR,

I'm running Fedora 15 on my MAC without the Parallels Tools, until a new release takes care of the issue.
