vmware and kernel header mismatches...

[Adam Shand <larry@alaska.net>]

hey.

i've compiled and installed my own kernel for ages with debian.  currently
i'm running 2.2.5 with no problems until now.

i'm trying to install vmware which looks really cool (http://www.vmware.com)
but running into this problem.  because it doesn't have a module for my
kernel already setup it wants to build one but claims that:

	Whoa, something is wrong with the system include files on your
	machine! The file <linux/version.h> is for a 2.0.36 Linux system but
	you are running a 2.2.2 kernel.  This will not work for building the
	VMware device drivers; you must have include files that match the
	version of your operating system.

it appears that i've got some default debian headers which aren't updated
when i compile my kernel.  what is the approved way for me to fix this so i
won't break anything?

thanks,
adam.
