Trouble with cc1plus and VMware, I get a cc1plus error when installing Vmware and any-any114 patch Options

[Avrohom]

Hello,

I am running Fedora 8 and kernel 2.6.23.1-49.fc8

When I try to install VMWare via the any-any114 patch, I get the following error:



What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/kernels/2.6.23.1-49.fc8-i586/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

On many posts, I have seen that it indicates a missing c++ compiler, so I tried to do a yum install, but it told me it is already there. Please see below:


[root@localhost vmnet-only]# yum install gcc
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package gcc - 4.1.2-33.i386 is already installed.
Nothing to do
[root@localhost vmnet-only]# yum install gcc-c++
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package gcc-c++ - 4.1.2-33.i386 is already installed.
Nothing to do




Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I fixed it!!! My gcc-c++ must have been corrupt. I uninstalled it, re installed it, and it worked like a charm!!
