Installation

tar zxvf VMware-server-1.0.9-156507.tar.gz
cd vmware-server-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
Before running VMware Server for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this
program to invoke the command for you now? [yes] no
cd ..
tar jxvf vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho.tar.bz2
cd vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho
./runme.pl

Probleme

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.1.3", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3.2". 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 "4.3.2" anyway? [no] no

GCC zeigt hier noch auf die falsche Version

Lösung Temporär

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1

Lösung Dauerhaft

ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc4.1 /usr/bin/gcc 

Ergebnis

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.
