error when trying to compile the modules... Any idea???
[root@pplaptop /root]# vmware-config.pl

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of VMware's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running

Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system
(you need
to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
