kernal source and c headers don't match


I'm trying to install vmware, but I keep getting this error:

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] 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]
if I send it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.3-7mdk/include/ it says:

The path "/usr/src/linux-2.6.3-7mdk/include" is an existing directory, but it
does not contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as
expected.

does this mean I don't have something installed correctly?

I still don't get it. I have installed the headers for my kernel which is a smp kernel but when I run the vmware script and it asks me for the location of the c headers I don't know what to put. the closest I can find is /usr/src/kernels/xxx(my kernel name without the "smp" attatched.). So where the heck are these C headers that must match my running kernel?
