Hello guys,
Downloaded the latest VMWare workstation from their homepage, executed and installed it.
On first run it asked me for installing the gnu c compiler, which i did.
When i try to run vmware again, i met this error, and although i found other issues related to this, none of the solutions seemed to be for ubuntu 11.10 with kernel 3.0.0-17.
I am running an Ubuntu Minimal + LXDE setup, so I am missing several of packages that are standard in regular 11.10 install. Might this affect it?
Attached a screenshot, also the log output:
