VmWare-Workstation 7 on openSUSE 11.2

I just installed VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739 32-bit on openSUSE 11.2

I had already gcc, gcc++, make and kernel-source installed. But I was missing the kernel-devel and kernel-syms packages and got an error: "gcc and kernel headers must be installed"

The easiest is to install kernel-syms and YaST will resolve the dependencies and install all additional kernel-devel packages needed.
Afterwards run /usr/bin/vmware again and the installer will run through the compile stuff.
