I have been running both 7.5 and 8.0.2 on Linux 2.6.33.7 and KDE 4.4
I was considering shifting to 2.6.39 and KDE 4.6 however VMware will not install regardless of whether it is 7.1.5 or 8.0.2.
As su the 8.0.2 install runs with no errors indicated.
Then when executing VMware 8.0.2 as a user you see the following then a pop up screen with an error which is below as the last line.

Cannot execute command ' ''\''/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig'\'' --icon='\''vmware-workstation'\'' --appname='\''VMware'\'' --gcc='\''/usr/bin/gcc'\'' --headers='\''/lib/modules/2.6.39.4-5.1-desktop/build/include'\'' --gcc-ignore-minor ''.
The apploader logfile is attached.
Similar results are obtained with 7.1.5
So it looks like this is not going to work...I knew I should have waited.
Are there any know solutions besides rolling back?
