Hello, i want to install vmware 5.5 workstation on my debian linux.
This is my configuration: ca-phlinux:/# uname -a Linux ca-phlinux 2.6.17-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 16:34:10 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux ca-phlinux:/# The installation now asks: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] i installed header files and kernel source with apt-get.

[/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/includeso i tried:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/include The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2/include" is a kernel header file directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected. This can happen if the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the "make mrproper" command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want to rebuild your kernel. i tried the same with: What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-486/include What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

[/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/include ....because i don't know what the hell this is about. i installed Debian with network installation and it works fine. Never had to change something about the kernel. How can i make this work ? thnx. Phil. Disclaimer : This e-mail is intended for the exclusive use by the person(s) mentioned as recipient(s).
