Bug#381102: mismatching address space size

["walter franzini" <walter.franzini+debian-qa@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-headers-2.6.16-2-686-smp
Version: 2.6.16-17

While (re)compiling the VMWare-Player module I get the following error:

------------------------------------------
acer:~# uname -a
Linux acer 2.6.16-2-686-smp #1 SMP Sat Jul 15 22:33:00 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
acer:~# vmware-config.pl
...
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-2-686-smp/include/

The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.
------------------------------------------

Is it a problem of vmware-player?
Thanks
