ubotuVMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers12:37

traubisodathe problem is a little complex cuz when i tried to install vmware server, it recomended gcc 4.2.3 but i have an older version, so the installation wasn't correct12:38

traubisodaso after i downloaded and extracted it i started to install12:50
traubisodain the middle of the installation, it said that i should update gcc to 4.2.3, cuz i have an older version, and the installation may crush12:51

jribare you using ubuntu?13:02
traubisodano13:02
jribtraubisoda: ask in #debian13:02
traubisodaokay13:03
traubisodathx for your time13:03
jrib  you need to sort out your gcc versions which is debian-specific because ubuntu does not have those versions.  You probably just need to dowgrade or somehow install and specify the right version.  Then it should work.13:04
jribor just leave13:04
jrib...13:04
Caleb_EstartesLame. ~.~13:04
Caleb_EstartesI've got to leave too, but I'll probably be back.  I've only got one ethernet connection and have to switch between computers...  ugh.13:05
