anyway the "/opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl" script somewhere along the line try's to figure out what version of gcc you have. The only problem is that it is using --version which spits out: gcc (GCC) 3.2 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. on which it fails miserably at parsing. instead it should be using -dumpversion which spits out: 3.2 which after messing with things late last night it did in fact parse correctly. I imagine this is an issue with the older gcc 2.95.x line having a --version which gives a more sanly parsable string. (BTW, same issue with compiling openoffice from source i think...i dont recall if that got fixed in 1.0.1) evan
