1. Has any anyone managed to painlessly install VMWare Workstation 6.5 under 11 (i.e. without the gcc version problem that plagued 6.0.x)? (The point of the question is, that unless VMWare 6.5 goes up under 11 without problems, I'll have to stay with 10.3. My system is a production system.)
It was no different installing on 11.0 as on 10.3. It cannot find pre-compiled modules for the running kernel, so it has to compile its own. In the process the VMware installer displays the same bug that has been there for a long time.. in cannot correctly identify the GCC version. So... all you have to do is type yes at the question about gcc, and it carries on just fine with defaults all the way (assuming you have installed GCC and the kernel sources of course)
Well, I've managed to get it work without any command line magic. I used the bundle version, which is a graphical installer for the vmware 6.5. It didn't ask me about compiling anything. Of course, I had an old vmware installation on my system. Maybe the new version just used the kernel modules which the old version had compiled.
