Hi there I hope this helps Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.1.3", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.2.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server 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 "4.2.3" anyway? [no]
After reading some different ways to fix this problem I found this one, and it worked great. first execute: ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* to see which versions you have installed, this is my output lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-12-05 16:21 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204836 2007-10-19 11:38 /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 192532 2007-10-14 11:49 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16312 2007-10-19 11:31 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2018 2007-04-08 21:57 /usr/bin/gccmakedep As you may see I have 4.1 and 4.2 versions installed but my gcc command is linked to 4.2, to solve that just enter these commands. su - export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1 and then vmware-config.pl Kind regards, Gareth Smith IT Operations and Infrastructure 68-72 Waterloo Rd North Ryde, NSW, Australia 2113 Desk: +61 2 8306 6989 Mobile: +61 414 818 575 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daryl Thompson Sent: Monday, 27 October 2008 10:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SLUG] VmWare configure error Hi Tried it and I still get the same error Regards, Daryl Thompson Daryl Thompson wrote: > Hi Sulgers > > I am having trouble running "perl /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl" on my > Fedora 9 > > it stops with error > > make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' > Unable to build the vmmon module. > > For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, > please visit our Web site at > "http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html"; and > "http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.ht ml". > > Execution aborted.
