VMware
Trying to install VMware in sid, just to run another OS locally.
As far as I can see, VMware Server 2, obtainable from
www.vmware.com/freedownload is what I would need.
Installation was successful.
But during the configuration new kernel modules are built, and this
error shows up:
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.1.3", while you are
trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.3". This configuration is
not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue.
Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building
your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" version
"4.3.3" anyway? [no]
If I try to proceed with 'yes' then there are errors like this one:
*** Inappropriate build environment: you wanted to use gcc version
4.3.3 while kernel attempts to use gcc version 4.1.3.
The older gcc 4.1.3 is not available in debian.snapshot.net .
So, the question is: has anyone managed to install VMware? If so, how?
