i tried to install and configure vmware tools.
i installed the tools, but when i want to configure them it fails.
first i had to install a compiler by running apt-get install build-essentials.
then i tried it again (/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl), but now the configuring tools was asking for my kernel hearders files.
so i installad my headers files by doing this: apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.27-7-server.
now i have two directories in /usr/src/. linux-headers-2.6.27-7 and linux-headers-2.6.27-7-server.
then i runned the /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl again and point the install to de headers file location. but it fails.
"the path "/user/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-7-server/include" is a kernel header file director, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected."
i tried the make 'mrproper command' but still no version.h file...
i need some help
thank you
