Hi all, I am doing a VMware server install as per how-to:
http://how2forge.org/debian_sarge_vmware_server_howto
Running into this error:
Unable to build the vmnet module.
Here's the locations where error took place:
In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?
[/usr/share/pixmaps]
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.19.2-default1/build/include]

Would you like to skip networking setup and keep your old settings as they are?

I googled about this error and read about using VMware any-any-patch - Not sure about this???
Here's the link for reference:
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=22261&messageID=272360
- also another search mentions about creating a "config.h" in:
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/include/linux
Here's the link for reference:
http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=534279
Would appreciate any comments/suggestions to help resolve this problem!
Note: I am installing VMware Server on a Debian system which was upgraded from 2.6.8-2 to 2.6.19-2...
