Description Andreas Klein 2008-07-29 14:44:31 UTC

Either the kernel should be compiled with the old gcc, or gcc should be updated to the version the kernel was compiled with.

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use 
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware 
Server may crash if you'll continue.

Hmm, it seems like vmware is doing the check not correctly.

They use -dumpversion instead of --version and that's wrong. See bug #391432.
