We are trying to get VMWare Workstation 16.1 running on CentOS 7 running kernel 5.10.6-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64. We are having to use this kernel so our Dell Latitude 5411's see the wifi adapter. If we select kernel 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 VMWare Workstation 16.1 launches successfully.
If we run Workstation 16 with the elrepo kernel, we get the error about gcc version 9.3.1 not found.
I have installed the elrepo kernel headers with this command:
yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml-devel
After installing successfully, I'm not able to launch Workstation as it asks about gcc.
$ vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
[AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support.
Failed to get gcc information.
Is it possible to run Workstation 16.1 with the elrepo kernel?
Thanks!
