Ho ubuntu 6.10 edgy e non riesco ad installare vmware workstation 5.5.1-19175
Per l''installazione ho cercato di seguire il wiky in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMware
La lunga installazione si pianta con questo errore:
Ho cercato di applicare la patch spiegata nel wiky ma non c''è nulla da fare, non va proprio e restituisce sempre lo stesso errore.Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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? [/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic/include]

Sembra, in rete, essere un problema molto comune. Ci sono anche alcuni vecchi thread in questo stesso forum ma non riesco proprio a venire a capo di questa faccenda..
Ad esempio:
http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php?t=40521
http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php?t=44173 (è per dapper)
In seguito a questo problema non riesco nemmeno ad installare il vmware player fornito con la distribuzione, che prima invece funzionava.. Almeno vorrei potere far tornare a funzionare quella...
