Parallels

Posted by ejhildreth

When I was trying to setup Parallels in openSuse 10.3, the install instructions that are found in the PDF file are incomplete. Through various online sources, I found that a couple of additional packages are needed (downloadable through YAST) to complete the install. Here is the process I went through to get it running:

  1. Downloaded the most current RPM package directly from Parallels
  2. Installed the RPM package
  3. Opened YAST Software Manager
  4. Made sure the following packages were installed (I download files directly from the openSuse OSS and Non-OSS repositories):
    • binutils
    • gcc
    • gcc-c++
    • kernel-source
    • make
  5. As a super user from the command line, ran parallels-config
  6. Started the App and went Virtual Machine crazy! :-p
