I have been unable to install parallels on my SuSE 10.1 box.

Is this the only way to get it installed on SuSE 10.1 or have others succeeded without this step? Any help gratefully accepted. Nick
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.

Install it through yast and you will be fine. don
It is not the compiler.

I wounder if the "checking freezing kthreads patch" is the kernal patch needed for successful installation, any ideas? Nick
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.
