Vmware Workstation 12 Install Problem

Having a tough time here. I have installed kernel 4.6 for my machine and using gcc 6.1.1 - so vmware workstation 12 installs fine but will not run. Does not find compatible gcc version 5.3.1



So wondering if anyone has a way to get this to work with gcc 6.1.1 or how to install 5.3.1 just for Vmware?



Thanks,



SJ

          I got the same issue and found a solution. But I never consider about my gcc version. This solution works fine on kernel 4.6.x. Need to change some c codes.
          Actually this solution for fedora but works well on Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.6.x.x.





          1. find following archives on /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source




            • vmmon.tar

            • vmnet.tar




          Before make any changes backup original archives.




          1. untar vmmon.rar and find /vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c file and change "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote"

          2. tar and replace original

          3. untar vmnet.tar and find /vmnet-only/userif.c file and change "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote"

          4. tar and replace original


          then start vmware workstation.

          Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

          Image
          2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar.
