Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.4.5", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.0.2". This configuration is not supported and VMware
Workstation cannot work in such configuration. Please either recompile your
kernel with "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.0.2", or restart /usr/bin/vmware-config.plwith CC environment variable pointing to the "gcc" version "3.4.5".

Anyone know how to fix it?
I am a linux newbie...

Either recompile your kernel (which is something you should do at some point anyway) or check to see if you have gcc v3.4.5 installed. If so you can export the CC variable with something like:
# export CC="/usr/bin/gcc-3.4.5"
Then try running vmware-config.pl again as root.

I have gcc-3.4 install. I just not sure were the export CC="/usr/bin/gcc-3.4.5" command goes? I tried putting it in the /etc/profile as # export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4...but it did not work.

Just type it in at the command prompt (without the "#"....that just indicates a root prompt) and it will be set for that console until you log off it. Putting it in /etc/profile would work too, don't put the # in though as that will just comment out the line.
