Hi folks, I installed vmware work station and on final step which was >> " BEFORE YOU CAN RUN VMWARE, SEVERAL MODULES MUST BE COMPILES AND LOADED INTO THE RUNNNG KERNEL " I click on " INSTALL " and then got this DAMN error : Unable to build kernel module. See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-15968.log for details. I HATE IT ! I remember on windows it was easy just 2 clicks ! here seems over 40000 clicks. Please help.

Do you have development tools and kernel headers installed? Try

sudo aptitude install build-essentials linux-headers
and see if that helps. Usually the post-install vmware configuration step can be re-run by
sudo vmware-config-tools.pl
