Hi,
I'm having difficulties installing Vmware v71 under grml -- I always get
gcc and kernel headers must be installed
Even though I got everything installed, I think.
Please take a look at the last several line of the strace output:

I don't know what vmware is trying to do. Seems that it
successfully open the version.h file, them moved on probing the
directories. This is where I lost. What the code is trying to do?
I googled, and seems that VmWare-Workstation 7 has been at least
successfully installed on openSUSE 11.2 [1] & openSuSe 11.3 [2].
