Hello, I've been trying "export CC=gcc32" (No quotes) with my VMWare
install myself and I can't hear see feel a differance. The hd doesn't
click, the screen doesn't flicker, nothing but the terminal goes to the
next line where I type ./vmware-install.pl and walla, get's to the "gcc
version 3.3.2 found vmware was built with gcc 3.2.3 do you want to
continue anyway" part. And if I do continue it says "What is the
location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]" .. being a relative noob I pretty much
look at it stumped from that point on and cry.
Anyhelp would be greatly appriciated. (Fedora Core 1)
Thanks.
