VMWare Workstation Installation GCC compiler not found

General Help

I have this problem and the previous topic from June 24 has been closed and its solution did not work.

I’m trying to install VMware workstation pro 17.5.1 on Zorin 17.1. The install works fine but when I run it by entering ‘VMware’ it comes up with a message that ‘gnu c compiler (gcc) version 12.3.0 was not found’.

You need to install the essential compiling equipment for that.

sudo apt install build-essential

If it doesn't work, Zorin may be to "old" for the newly version of VMware. In that case you should try Boxer from the software store. It's point'n'click VM, very easy to use.
