Subject: Feisty breaks VMWare install

Hey all. When I upgraded to Feisty, I had to (try to) reinstall VMWare
server. I downloaded the appropriate headers for my kernel, and now get
this upon trying to run the install script:

What is the location of the
 directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.20-11-server/build/include] 

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Building the vmmon module.

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.
