Since installing kernel 2.26.5 I've been unable to get WS6.0.0 build 45731 to work. It fails while compiling the vmmon module. I've tried upgrading to kernel 2.26.5-2; the any-any-update116; and now any-any-update 117 as suggested in a neighbouring thread. No joy.
Here are the error messages:

Can anybody offer enlightenment?
