Do the following steps to install VMware on openSUSE

as root:
zypper in gcc

Then open YaST / Software / Software Management - Select the View Button on the top left and pick Patterns. Now, you will see several Patterns listed and you want to select:

Code:

Development

[X] Base Development
[X] Linux Kernel Development
[X] C/C++ Development

Then Press the Accept button on the bottom right and allow these applications to install. You now have everything you need so you won't get hung up on the installation.

Then after you do that, and have downloaded the .bundle from their website, you need to modify the .bundle in order to then install it via bash prompt.

To do this go into the directory of the file and modify it with the follow code to make it executable.

AS ROOT:

chmod +x "the file you want to modify"

Then everything is ready for your install. Good luck! :)

That can be shorten to

zypper in gcc

You can also add the gcc packag through yast and by adding the kernel development pattern as well. Opensuse has many way to do the same thing.
