Problems building VMWare modules for debian 2.6.3 kernel

Platform: Intel Pentium M (Dell Latitude D600),
	  debian sarge (testing/unstable),
	  VMware-workstation-4.5.1-7568,
	  kernel-image-2.6.3-1-686 2.6.3-2
	  kernel-headers-2.6.3-1 2.6.3-2
	  kernel-headers-2.6.3-1-686 2.6.3-2
	  libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11
	  libc6-dev 2.3.2.ds1-11
	  gcc 3.3.3-2

Hi!

I tried installing VMware 4.5.1 on my debian sarge (testing/unstable)
system.  The system is a laptop with a 2.6.3 kernel installed from a
debian package.

The installation failed with trying to compile the headers.  The
relevant parts of the output from the installation script, is attached
below.

All hints, tips, and ideas, appreciated!

Thanx!

[snip!]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.3.2", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "3.3.3". This configuration is not recommended and VMware
Workstation may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same
compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "3.3.3" anyway? [no] yes

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.3-1-686/build/include] yes

The path "yes" is not an existing directory.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.3-1-686/build/include]
