Failure to compile kernel drivers in CentOS 4.3 x64

Hi,

I have been trying to get Parallels 2.1 to run on my Opteron workstation which runs CentOS 4.3 (x64), but with no luck...

Anybody out there that got parallels running on a 64 bit OS?

Here is a copy of my comp error log after running parallel-config

Thank you in advance for any pointers!

Taking a little over a minute to flip over to the list of supported host operating systems to check. I confirm that there is no 64 bit operating system supported, and CentOS is not supported either.
.

 

1. 32-bit CentOS is not supported officially, but surely working with Parallels Workstation 2.1.
2. 64-bit primary OSes are not supported in current version but will be supported in next version.

 

Thank you for the response. Looking forward to the new 64 bit edition. Until then I guess I'll be using VMWARE...

 

Are you referring to 2.2 or 3.0 as next version?

 

I would guess 3.0 since 64bit is a giant step - not a baby step. ;>)

 

You never know

I hope they have time to focus on the Win & Linux version too now that the OS X versions getting frequently updated with new betas, or if we have to wait until that version becomes final to see something new in the windows version.

 

Judging from all of the 'requests' - it's going to be a long time before Parallels's focus returns to the 95% world. Maybe we should fill up all of the inappropriate forums with whiny posts like they do. Too bad it works so well that I can't think of too much to complain about. I bought VMware for my 64bit production machine before Parallels was on the market, but love Parallels on my slower 32bit machine.

 

Yes indeed they need to polish off the OS X semi transparent dashboard widget prior to looking at Win/Linux 64 bit. At least they have the priorities straight.

 

How pathetic, don't you have a life? Stick to your meaningless diatrabs on your own forums - all of the rest of them but this one since you Mac users can't read forum descriptions! If appearance is your only concern, maybe you should subscribe to a few fashion forums - they probably would suit your tastes better. You're just envious because it will probably take the Mac 10 years to get to 64bit capability judging from their insistence on using an obsolete processor long after it's time. But then Mac users are more focused on their pretty icons than functionality and capability that is beyond their immediate experience.

 

Hmmm ... I guess all those 64 bit G5 machines with OS X that have been sold by Apple over the past few years really don't meet your criteria as they're coupled with a pretty GUI and a fantastic OS underneath ? Or perhaps since they've had multi-core CPUs for years it really doesn't count either ?

I must admit you really do excel when it comes to demonstrable ignorance! I'll give you an A+ for that.
