vmware (HOWTO) solve problems

[nirovi]

You need to install the headers for the release of the kernel you have installed. To find this out you can type

>> uname -r

to get the header you can apt-get install them,

>> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

or select the appropriate package in synaptic.

Note: you'll also need gcc etc which if you don't have already you can get with

>> sudo apt-get install build-essential

After installation the vmware installer should just pick up the right place and not require anything but the defaults.
