After install and running the vm-ware config, the config needs my kernel headers to compile some modules, ok, so I'll give it them, but it just won't work.

It asks for the path of the directory of C header files that match my running kernel.

If I

uname -r

I get

2.6.35-22-generic-pae

So I tell it the source path is

/lib/modules/2.6.25-22-generic-pae/build/include

and it returns

"The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.35-22-generic-pae).

..I'm confused? can anyone offer suggestions please?

I installed hte kernel source andh eaders myself using

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
