I'm trying to install VMware Player in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, updated to the latest version, which provides kernel 4.6.
After running vmplayer, I get a window showing an error: "A compatible version of gcc was not found."
After clicking OK in that window, I get a new window with another warning: "GNU C Compiler (gcc) version 6.1.1 was not found.".
However, if I do gcc --version, I get the following, that shows I've got the latest gcc.
gcc (SUSE Linux) 6.1.1 20160615 [gcc-6-branch revision 237474]

Even if I search for the gcc directory (given by whereis gcc) the problem doesn't go away.
How can I install VMware Player, then?
