Yes we all know that the vmware modules need to be compiled for your running kernel, and compiling anything needs a compiler. If you force it enough, you may find that some vmware modules which strictly speaking aren't right for your kernel work anyway. SUSE 10.0 had 2 different versions: a public OSS only release, and a shipped version also including non-OSS software. The non-OSS software is available from somewhere I believe. I've already told you that gcc is on CD 3, and with the DVD including at least the CD content (and more), please tell us where you got that useless DVD of yours from. Or is your installation somehow seriously broken? For obvious reasons (9GB), SUSE didn't put the dual-layer DVD iso online. It's not too difficult to ask around for a copy? I can make you one if you like, but not for free. Have you checked out gwdg.de like I suggested? Because you can add ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/ to your installation sources in yast, and then install gcc from .../suse/i586/gcc* This is a good example of why I suggest to get a distro complete on a DVD (or CD for those who like to juggle), because then it's plug'n'go.
