I was running the install script for vmware5, it complained that my kernel was compiled using gcc 3.4 and my current gcc is version 3.3.5.
I did not compile my current kernel, I installed it (smp version) through apt-get, so the error msg could well be true. I tried to install an updated gcc, but apt-get told me that my gcc was already up-to-date. Its not! rahdebian:/home/raheesom/Downloads/vmware5# apt-get install gcc-3.4 Reading Package Lists...
