GNU C Compiler (gcc) version 4.9.2 was not found

[hiyal]

I can't use VMware because it ask for gcc 4.9.2 but I have 11.2.0 (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1) installed in /usr/bin/gcc. I can't use 11.2.0 because it says it is incompatible. What to do? I'm using Ubuntu 22.04

What version of Workstation are you trying to use the n Ubuntu 22.04?

Already have build-essential installed. I tried to reinstall VMware Workstation but still getting same error

Could you confirm versions . . .

Package: apt list build-essential
GCC: apt list gcc

Could you confirm your host hardware type that Ubuntu is installed on ? . . . for instance a QNAP NAS !

[hiyal]

My hardware is QNAP TS364 and i'm using Ubuntu Station app to run Ubuntu. So it is unsupported after all?

[CarltonR]

Perhaps mentioning this in the original question would have saved a considerable amount of time . . . the only 'official' reference I can find relating to VMware for QNAP is vSphere, but would suggest, if you have any questions, heading over to their forum.

[hiyal]

Ok, I will take a look
