Hello ..

i've reinstalled linux completely due to some "minor inconveniencies" and 
i'm trying
to reinstall vmware workstation.

during the vmware-config.pl  file you have to run after the rpm 
installation, i get some weird compilation warnings... like this.


cpp: -lang-c: linker input file unused since linking not done
<command line>: warning: "cpu" re-asserted
<command line>: warning: "machine" re-asserted
cpp: -lang-c: linker input file unused since linking not done
<command line>: warning: "cpu" re-asserted
<command line>: warning: "machine" re-asserted
cpp: -lang-c: linker input file unused since linking not done


and then fatal:


make[2]: Cambiando a directorio 
`/root/tmp/vmware-config5/vmmon-only/driver-2.4.17-16mdk'

now, what is re-asserted? it's the first time i see those coming up on 
vmware-config, which is used after every kernel update...
besides, all those warnings...... and this doesn't look like a gcc problem 
anyway.

i tried using gcc 2.96 and 3.0.1. exactly the same issue.

any help greatly appreciated, as always ;o)

thanks!!

Damian
