I've installed VMware 7.0.0 in Ubuntu 10.04. Then I've upgraded Ubuntu to 10.10 (the beta release) and I could not compile the vmware modules any more since it complains it cannot find the linux headers.
My first attempt was to check I have the headers installed and just in case to make a symlink from the correct headers to /usr/src/linux. It doesn't work. So, I just uninstalled VMware and installed it again. Same result. Then I installed the ubuntu package with the sources and compiled the kernel by myself, again I pointed /usr/src/linux to the correct sources. Same result, VMware still complains about not finding the headers. I reinstalled VMware again with no luck.
What could be the problem? I am using kernel sources 2.6.35 (ubuntu version) and VMware version 7.0.0.
Cheers.
