Hi,

I just tried to install vmware. When I "power on" I get the error message
"Could not open /usr/pkg/share/vmware/vmm (No such file or directory).".
Where can I find the file vmm ?

Best regards,
Uwe

VMware Workstation is unable to determine if the filesystem that the
directory /root/.vmware is located on supports the needed
file locking functionality (filesystem type = 0x1).

If this file system does support file locking then you
can enable its use by setting
    host.FSSupportLocking1 = 0x1
in your configuration file.  The next time that you power-on
the virtual machine the filesystem will be considered ok.
Cannot lock the preferences file.
