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
