Bug#478428: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1: Vmware-Module-Build exits with Error
Package: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1
Version: 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.1
Severity: normal
See Log. Vmware-Version is Vmware-Server 1.0.4.
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server 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? [/lib/modules/2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686/build/include]
