Problem with installation in OpenSuse 10.1

I am trying to install Parallels workstation in my OpenSuse10.1 system.

I follow the steps in the manual but have problems to finalise my installation. It states in the terminal that kernal sources needed. I have read the list of files that are needed to install in other systems, e.g. SuSe9.1, 9.3, Fedora etc. but did not mention about OpenSuse 10.1

As I am a total newbie in Linux system, please provide me step by step guidance of such as, how to install these missing files, and how to complete the rest of installation process.

Many thanks.

SuSE 10.1 is not supported and is only installable by applying a patch:

http://thomas.glanzmann.de/parallels/ (thanks sithglan).

Searching the forums for key words like 10.1 will often help.

Further to that, you need to install the kernel source. This can be done via Yast. Go to "Software Management" and search for "kernel". Select "kernel source" and click install.

Sorry, but how can I install the patch?

I have installed kernal-source from YAST. However, the installation still has error saying Cannot complie. The error message reads as follows:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH


Please do help me fix this problem. Many thanks!

Just so it does not come as a shock, this sort of help can only last so long. This is a Paralells forum, not a Linux forum, so I may give up at any stage. Having said that, to your current problem.

You also need to install gcc. You should also install gcc++.

Check the installation guide for list of required software.

The following software packages should be installed:
Sources of currently installed kernel (if you didn't install the kernel manually, then you should install kernel-sources package from your distribution);
glibc [glibc]
gcc [gcc], ld [binutils] (included in any development package)
X Window System including
xf86vidmode extension (for fullscreen only)
XKB extension (for keyboard national layouts and leds support)
Qt 3.0.5 library multithreaded [qt3]

There you go I copied the relevant bit for you. Read the guide anyway.

cannot find these files

I have tried to add the files I need from YAST. However, I cannot find the following files from the installation source, no matter how I search.

ld [binutils] (included in any development package)
X Window System including
xf86vidmode extension (for fullscreen only)
XKB extension (for keyboard national layouts and leds support)
Qt 3.0.5 library multithreaded [qt3]

I tried to run parallels-config. However, I received a long log file saying that something is missing. I am wondering if anyone has tried to install Parallel products in OpenSuSe 10.1?? Or is this version incompatible??

 

I am using parallels in suse 10.1 and SLED 10.0.

After you have all the required devel programs installed you will still have to apply the patch that was mentioned in one of the other posts.

Once the patch is applied parallels will configure and compile fine.

There are very good sources of info to be found in the parallels user guide and the installation guide, they are free for the down load.
