Help! I had vmware up & running beautifully until I monkeyed around & installed zoneminder. Being the world's biggest ubuntu rookie, I'm sure I mucked up the works somehow.
Vmware wouldn't open, so I tried re-running vmware-config.pl.
Got the message:
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.2.3", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.3". This configuration is not recommended and
VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same
compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.3" anyway? [no]
After googling that error, I found a patch at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server)and followed the instructions to install the patch. Still got the above error when trying to run vmware-config.pl.
SooOOooo... I uninstalled vmware & tried reinstalling. Same error. Here's the rest of the terminal output:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel?
