Hi,
I have installed open vm tools on Ubunti 9.10 using apt-get.
I am currently getting the following error when compiling the Kernel module
(see post):
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1331066>[...]
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/build/include]

Unable to build the vmmemctl module.
The memory manager driver (vmmemctl module) is used by VMware host software
to
efficiently reclaim memory from a virtual machine.
If the driver is not available, VMware host software may instead need to
swap
guest memory to disk, which may reduce performance.
The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you want the memory management feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils,
make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your
machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.
