Install VMWare Tools from VMWare Workstation 7.1.1 build-282343 on Debian squeeze: complaint about gcc path not valid
- by Misha Koshelev
Dear All:
I am trying to install VMWare tools on Debian Squeeze.
My error:
Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
Searching for GCC...
The path "/usr/bin/gcc" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes]
uname -a:
Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 18 02:14:45 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
dpkg -l | grep make
ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilation.
dpkg -l | grep gcc
ii gcc 4:4.4.4-2 The GNU C compiler
ii gcc-4.4 4.4.4-8 The GNU C compiler
ii gcc-4.4-base 4.4.4-8 The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)
ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-8 GCC support library
whereis gcc
gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/lib/gcc
Thank you
Misha
