I am trying to install the vmware ver5. During installation I am getting following error. Please advice the solution.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.4.3", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.0.1". This configuration is not supported and VMware Workstation cannot work in such configuration. Please either recompile your kernel with "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.0.1", or restart /usr/bin/vmware-config.plwith CC environment variable pointing to the "gcc" version "3.4.3".
Get from there the latest any-any patch and run that one instead.
It worked for me- I've created the necessary modules using gcc 4.0.1 (under Arch Linux), but it may not work for some distributions.
PS: Another solution (which should work on most distros) is using a specific patch:

Of course, this *does* require rebuilding your kernel using gcc 4.X
If you don't use the above patch, then rebuilding your kernel (say from a source RPM) may fail.
