VMware WS Config Problems


I have VMware workstation 3.2.1 and I am on RHEL ES. I installed the VMware RPM and it told me to run vmware-config.pl, so I did. Here is what all went on when I ran it:

Code:
[root@localhost sik]# vmware-config.pl
Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped.
 
Stopping VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]
 
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
 
None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
 
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
 
Argument "\x{67}\x{63}..." isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl line 1493, <STDIN> line 1.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/build/include] /lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/build/include/asm-i386
 
The path "/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/build/include/asm-i386" is an existing
directory, but it does not contain at least one of these directories "linux",
"asm", "net" as expected.
 
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.21-4.EL/build/include]

I went to their website and looked at some stuff and saw that the suggested gcc compiler version was 2.7.(something). I downloaded an RPM for that and installed it. I tried vmware-config.pl again and got the same exact results! It seems that I have terrible luck with VMware WS because it never seems to install! I have tried it on FC3 and SuSE and each had their own special problems that I couldn't fix.

Does anyone know how I could fix this?

I think, but I'm not sure, that part of your problem is the version of VMware you are running. If you tried installing FC3 and SuSE within VMware you are using the 2.6 kernel. I'm not sure the 2.6 kernels are compatible with anything less that v4.5 of VMware.
Can you upgrade VMware perhaps????
