Hi,

I normally follow this procedure:

1) Install kernel-headers-*, kernel-source-* and kernel-tools-*
2) cd /usr/src    ln -s kernel-source-* linux
3) cd kernel-headers-*    ln -s ../kernel-source-*/{arch,scripts} .
4) cd ../kernel-source-*
5) cp /boot/config-* .config
6) make oldconfig
7) make modules_prepare

... and then proceed to install vmware-tools.
You have to replace the -* with the correct kernel version.
The above instructions works on vmware workstation 5.5.3 and TSL-3.0.5RC2.

I'm getting errors compiling the vmware tools. I'm getting two messages
which leads to the errors:
>

modversions.

> The first is probably not much to think about (is it?) but the seconds
says I'm missing a file. I've installed the kernel source and all the other
tools we've asking for in the wiki. Do I need the kernel-headers package
perhaps?
