Debian Kernel
Ive got Debian 5 Lenny and I'm trying to install vmware server. It keeps throwing errors about how the kernel was built with gcc 4.1 and Ive got gcc 4.3 installed. Ive tried compiling vmware with both anyway and compiling new kernels and I just keep getting errors.
Im wondering is there some apt-get install kernel... or a way to download a .deb file for a kernel built with gcc 4.3 that will work with Debian 5 Lenny.

install gcc 4.1 from the repositories, and make the /usr/bin/gcc symlink refer /usr/bin/gcc-4.1. Or compile an own custom kernel.

the other thing you can do instead of making a symlink and changing your default version of gcc, before you run the vmware setup perl script set the CC environment variable
Code:export CC=gcc-4.1
