VMWare woes
I am in the middle of configuring vmware server on fedora9. Have
got to this:
What is the location of the "gcc" program on your machine? usr/libexc/gcc
The answer "usr/libexc/gcc" is invalid. It must be the complete name of a
binary file.
any suggestions?

Have you install gcc? The "whereis" command can tell you where it might be installed. My install of vmware found gcc located in /usr/bin/gcc.

On my F9 box, I have:
Code:
/usr/bin/gcc
/usr/lib/ccache/gcc
which are the same version - the latter is on my path.
Do you find anything running: or If not, you will probably need to install the Development Tools and Development Libraries.

You can easily install this with yum.
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Seems that you don't have the kernel devel code installed on your machine. it needs this in order to be able to install and compile the necessary components for vmware.
I think it's kernel-devel, install with;
yum install kernel-devel
