I just succeeded in getting VMWare 5.5 beta2 running on Kubuntu 5.10.  I
was getting errors to the effect that the kernel/modules had been
compiled with gcc 3.4.5, but I had gcc 4.0 installed.  I was advised to
either recompile the kernel/modules with gcc 4.0 or to point
vmware-config.pl to where gcc 3.4.5 was.  In the end, I uninstalled gcc
4.0, installed gcc 3.4.5, and the vmware install went perfectly.
