I am trying to install vmware server on SL6 x64.   The install script to
build the required kernel modules issues a warning saying that my kernel was
built using gcc version 4.4.5, but the version I have installed is version
4.4.4, and that if I build the modules using this version the modules will
not function properly, causing crashes.  I checked and my version is indeed
4.4.4, from sl-security, with no newer version available that I could find
in the sl repos.

 

I suppose I could install a newer version from a fedora srpm or something
but thought I should ask - is this the best solution?  Also is this general
situation normal? or could this gcc mismatch cause other problems in future?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Chris
