    Hi,

    I am trying to install VMware-Workstation-4.0 in Fedora Core 1 but just
    got problems.. I am listing the log below. For info, I also tried the same installation with :

    export CC=gcc32

    but got the same problems.

    Thanks in advance for any help you may offer, Alberto

    Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
     
    None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
    running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module
    for
    your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?
    [yes]
     
    Unable to find the compiler specified in the CC environnment variable:
    "gcc32".
     
    Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
     
    Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.2.3", while you are trying to
    use
    "/usr/bin/gcc" version "3.3.2". This configuration is not recommended and
    VMwareWorkstation may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly
    same
    compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with
    compiler
    "/usr/bin/gcc" version "3.3.2" anyway? [no] yes
     
    What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
    running
    kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
     
    The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.
     
    What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
    running
    kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/bin/
     
    The path "/usr/bin" is an existing directory, but it does not contain at
    least
    one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as expected.
     
    What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
    running
    kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/include/
     
    The directory of kernel headers (version 2.4.20) does not match your
    running
    kernel (version 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl). Even if the module were to compile
    successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
