I can't seem to install vmware on my AMD64 ubuntu ...
All I get is this error from the perl install file
Building the vmmon module.
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

I found this solution on the net - but it's for SUSE
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make modules_prepare
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
... Is this a 64bit issue with vmware ?? ... I have a /usr/src file on my system but there isn't any make files in it - there's just some kernel header files.
