Hola, soy novato en linux y he instalado la Debian Sarge 3.1. Pero cuando la instalé me di cuenta de que venia con el kernel 2.4.27-2-386 y que habia otros mas actualizados. Como tengo un AMD k8 pues usando el synaptic me baje el kernel 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 y el kernel-header y todo parece que fue bien. Aunque ahora ya no me deja iniciar con el kernel antiguo...
Pero mi problema es a la hora de instalar el vmware, cuando lo instalaba con el kernel 2.4.x no hay problema pero cuando lo hago con el 2.6.x empieza bien a instalarse pero cuando intenta buscar modulos vcomm o intenta generarlos utilizando las gcc me da el siguiente error ... ... Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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] Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.4.4", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "3.3.5". 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 "3.3.5" anyway? [no] yes What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
