VMWare config won''t build modules

['Forum Post]

There is a good howto (in french) here http://tinyurl.com/bhyqq

it works perfectly



here is a short translation:



sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 g++-3.4

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4



# download vmware



tar xvzf VMware-workstation-5.0.0-13124.tar.gz

cd vmware-distrib



# say "No" when asked to run vmware-config.pl

sudo ./vmware-install.pl



# download the vmware-any-any-update script

# http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/

tar xvzf vmware-any-any-update94.tar.gz 

cd vmware-any-any-update94



# say "Yes" at the end of ./runme.pl

sudo ./runme.pl
