Thanks for the help I copy the "Module.symvers"

from
/usr/src/linux-2.6.15-git12-6-obj/x86_64/default/
to
/usr/src/linux

and re-run the vmware-config.pl and I get no more Warning the only other
warning I see is for the vmnet:

Warning: could not open /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/includeCheck.h:
Invalid argument
  CC      /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/vmnet.mod.o

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for
your

[yes] yes

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

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.15-git12-6-default/build/include]
