i get the error saying the gcc version used to compile my kernel is earlier than the one i have currently installed and this is not currently supported by vmware.

I had the same problem, and solved it by installing gcc-3.4 and using it for compiling ("export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4"). No problem there.
However, when I try to compile vmmon module I get the following message:

Can't figure out what's wrong. (ah, yeah, all header files etc are what they should be, of that I'm certain).
Anyone?
