compiling vmware module in ubuntu feisty
VMWare Server was working in Edgy. I upgraded to Feisty. Now the VMWare Server module will not compile.
Code:
chris@ubuntu:~$ vmware
vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
chris@ubuntu:~$ sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.

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/2.6.20-10-generic/build/include]
