vmware under hoary

[Jess Little]

it looks like your linux symlink is pointing at the wrong directory.  try this:

cd /usr/src
sudo rm linux
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-2-386 ./linux

that should give you a line in your ls output that looks somethng like this:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root src    12 2005-01-29 23:30 linux ->
linux-headers-2.6.10-2-386

then tell the vmware installer that your sources are in /usr/src/linux
(which is the default).  should work from there.
