hi
i am using Ubuntu 8.10 inside VMWare Workstation 6.
i need to use folder sharing feature with my host OS XP2 but when i tried installing VMWareTools i cant build several modules including vmhgfs and vmblock.
Trying to find a suitable vmhgfs module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmhgfs modules for VMware Tools is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmhgfs module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Extracting the sources of the vmhgfs module.
Building the vmhgfs module.
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config9/vmhgfs-only'
Unable to build the vmhgfs module.
The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

How can i resolve this?? i am spending hours googling this. Pls help
