[RLUG] VMWare woes - again

[dbagley at 775.net]

Somebody - anybody - Help!!

I cannot get VMWare to re-install on Ubuntu.  Keep getting error messages about my compiler - even though I know I'm pointing top the right one and it's installed.

Here's the last part of the output.  Thanks  Dennis

What is the location of the "gcc" program on your machine? /usr/bin/gcc-3.3

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc-3.3". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build/include]
