You have to have the kernel source, or at least the headers part of
it, in /usr/src/linux. Sometimes that's not enough (I'm not familiar
with the vmware Makefile so I can't tell for vmware) and you have to
do this:
cd /usr/include
mv linux linux.old
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux .
mv asm asm.old
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm .

Linux represents a best-of-breed UNIX, that is trusted in mission critical
applications, and - due to it's open source code - has a long term
credibility which exceeds many other competitive OS's.
