Fedora running VMware/GCC compiling
 

Has anyone attempted to run VMware on Fedora? I have successfully installed it but need to configure it and it cannot be configured due to the location of gcc complier. I have downloaded & extracted gcc-3.3.2 but am unable to compile this as running the ./configure command begins to configure then I get the following;

Created "Makefile" in gcc directory using "mt-frag"
./configure: line 8: gcc: command not found
*** the command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

Obviously I cannot configure VMware until gcc is working but am unable to get gcc working due to the above. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Try this:

$ export CC=gcc

And run the ./configure again

Opss.. reading again from your original post .. were you trying to compile the gcc from source? or were you trying to compile the VMware driver?

GCC is now compiled, however it is the latest version. I am now being asked for the location of the directory of C header files that match my running kernel???? The suggested path is /usr/src/linux/include but when accepting this path I get an error advising it is not an existing path. Fair enough, but what is the existing path? Any help would be appreciated.

My suggestion is not to recompile your own package ... install the one from your Fedora CDs. Use Add/Remove Applications to accomplish that. The include (header files) mentioned is most probably the kernel header files which can be found in the kernel-source-2.4.22-* in one of your Fedora CDs.
