VMware Question

[MonMotha]

Well, I wouldn't even go so far as to consider gcc 2.96 a compiler. 
It's horribly broken and quite possibly VMWare complained because of 
that (RedHat did know that this compiler was broken, and included kgcc 
for kernel compiling as 2.95 can't compile the kernel).  You might try 
CC=kgcc before you tell it to bulid the kernel modules.  Personally 
though, I'd get gcc 2.95.x (or MAYBE 3.x, but 3.x still has some problems).
