I have a VMware guest which is running CentOS 4.2. I am trying to
install the VMware tools but the build process fails because it says
that I am using gcc 3.4.4 but the kernel I am using (latest =
2.6.9-22.0.2.EL) is built with gcc 3.4.5 and this could lead to
incompatibilities and crashes.
The gcc version I have is the latest available with up2date. This
sounds bizarre to me - building the kernel for the distribution with a
version of gcc later than is made generally available. Does RedHat do
the same thing? (I have RHEL 4 boxes available but they're production,
so changing their kernels just to see isn't really on)
