VMWARE trouble


Does anyone know what i am doing wrong what do i need to configure?


/$./vmware-install.pl
A previous installation of VMware software has been detected.

The previous installation was made by the tar installer (version 3).

Keeping the tar3 installer database format.

Uninstalling the tar installation of VMware Workstation.

In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin/vmware]

What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/init.d]

In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/bin/lib/vmware]

to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes]

The path "/usr/bin/man" exists, but is not a directory.

Press enter to display it.


Do you accept? (yes/no) yes

Thank you.

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? [/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/include] /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/kernel-headers.revision

The path "/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/kernel-headers.revision" is not
an existing directory.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/include] /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/kernel-headers.revision

The path "/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/kernel-headers.revision" is not
an existing directory.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/include] /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/include/linux

The path "/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/include/linux" is an existing
directory, but it does not contain at least one of these directories "linux",
"asm", "net" as expected.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-kanotix-10/build/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Building the vmmon module.

Using standalone build system.
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only'
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only'
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only'
Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon.o': -1 Invalid module format
There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
