vmware stopped working after a kernel upgrade
After a kernel upgrade, vmware stopped working. I run vmware-config.pl and here is the output.
Should I understand that there's no vmware modules for my new kernel 2.6.5-7.75?

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