I've got the kernel-source installed but the vmware config script does the following:

None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [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? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-1.118/include
The path "/usr/src/linux-2.6.0-1.118/include" is an existing directory, but it
does not contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as
expected.

so the question is.. where do i point vmware-config.pl so it can find the headers?
Ryan,
there a few gotchas involved in putting vmware to run on a 2.6 kernel. It involves making changes to the vmware kernel modules code , because some system structs have changed.. On http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1804 there's a guide on how to make vmware run on 2.6... Also , I suggest you to run dmesg |grep gcc and check the version of gcc used to compile your kernel. If it is gcc 3.2.3 , then you'll need to do "export CC=gcc32" before configuring vmware.
I just installed the kernel-source for 2.6.1-1.126 and in /usr/src/linux-2.6.1-1.126 , there's the net dir .....
Hope this can help you..
