Hello all,

you can also do:
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.1

that worked for me on the same kernel. I have successfully got it
working on the beta 2.2 and 1.4 versions of vmware. it may not be the
correct Debian way but it got the job done.

The any any update almost worked.. here's the output:

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc-4.1". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/build/include]
