Hello I am using lenny. I tried to use vmware workstation, and I got an error to the effect that it could not find kernel headers.
So a little Googling told me that I had to do aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) and /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl But the above file did not exist. So, I ran vmware again, and it told me that several modules need to be compiled and installed, to which I pressed INSTALL. It asked me for the root password, which I supplied, and a box with the heading “vmware kernel module updater” appeared, which had 6 categories: Virtual Machine Monitor Virtual Network Device Vmware blocking filesystem etc. On compileing the first, it stepped immediately with an error. The error said to look in the file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-6425.log. This file contains the following: # cat /tmp/vmware-root/setup-6425.log Nov 04 10:09:00.687: app| Log for VMware Workstation pid=6425 version=6.5.2 build=build-156735 option=Release Nov 04 10:09:00.687: app| Host codepage=UTF-8 encoding=UTF-8 Nov 04 10:09:00.687: app| Logging to /tmp/vmware-root/setup-6425.log Nov 04 10:09:01.898: app| Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Gcc is installed – it is in /usr/bin /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only exists - it is a directory /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-686/build/include exists - it is a directory Anybody know what the problem might be?
