ERROR: modpost: "__pte_offset_map" [/home/raiton/Downloads/vmware-host-modules-w17.0.2/vmmon-only/vmmon.ko] undefined!

This is obviously not building current head of workstation-17.0.2 branch. Based on the name of your directory, you most likely have tag w17.0.2 (unpatched source from VMware) checked out rather than up-to-date workstation-17.0.2 branch. Please read the INSTALL file carefully and follow the instructions.

Thank you..

I ran the branch one. when i open vmware and try to run a VM i get again a pop up saying "Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded."
