when I tried to build the new vmware module, I got the following:

For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, please
visit our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html"
and
" http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.html".

Execution aborted.

*************************************
To my untrained eye, it looks like errors in the vmware script "expected
declaration specifiers...." but I've been using this same script to build new
modules for the past several months. Does anyone spot anything that could be
causing this?
