Just a note to let you know that I installed the vanilla kernel headers, and I had to redo the soft link of /usr/bin/gcc to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4. I think I might have previously deleted the vanilla headers when I wondered what they were doing next to the smp tree! Won't delete them again! VMware has

Thanks, putting CC into env did work, now I know where the 3.4 exe is! However I have another problem now with VMware - the script fails again with the kernel headers (which I have installed). I've taken a look at the k-headers tree and symlinks, and I think I know what's wrong, but wanted a 2nd

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
