I upgraded my OpenSUsE 13.x system to the new tumbleweed release (x64 for intel) this week, then I reinstalled VMware Workstation Pro 11. When trying to launch the application the Kernel Module Updater dialog pops up for locating GCC. Giving the right path (/usr/bin/gcc) simply makes the application popping up an error saying "A compatible version of gcc was not found". Setting GCC path in the CC env variable does not work either.
My system is
openSUSE 20151106 (x86_64)
VERSION = 20151106
CODENAME = Tumbleweed
the GCC installed is
gcc (SUSE Linux) 5.2.1 20151008 [gcc-5-branch revision 228597]
which the same version used to compile the kernel:
Linux version 4.3.0-1-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 5.2.1 20151008 [gcc-5-branch revision 228597] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 2 15:35:09 UTC 2015 (7b374a4)
I downloaded and tried with the new Workstation Pro 12 release, but I got the same result. I also tried to downgrade back to Workstation 10, but nothing has changed.
I'm stuck on this problem and cannot work with my VMs. Hope anybody can helping me fizing the issue.
Thank you
