Hi Klaus,
I have the same problem with both the CD & DVD.
I am using the exact same procedure which is working just fine on 4.02.
I first create a vm booting from a virtual DVD device mapped to the
ISO.
Once running knoppix in the vm, I run the vmware-install.pl script
which is calling the Knoppix gcc and I get the above error message.
Finally (at least with 4.02) I save in a knoppix.img all the changes
required to have the vm tools installed and running at boot time.
Why this would work on Knoppix 4.02 and not 5.01
and why with such a kernel missmatch error ?
Thank you for your response.
Best Regards,
Gilles van Ruymbeke
FYI, the Vmware player and Vmware server (beta) versions are now free.
