Tried again tonight.  All goes well until this:

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic

The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic" is an existing directory,
but it does not contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.

Here is what's in /usr/src:

$ ls /usr/src
linux-headers-2.6.35-22/  linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic/

And, yes, there is no "linux" subdirectory under either one:

$ ls /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22
arch/		drivers/   init/    lib/      samples/	 tools/
block/		firmware/  ipc/     Makefile  scripts/	 ubuntu/
crypto/		fs/	   Kbuild   mm/       security/  usr/
Documentation/	include/   kernel/  net/      sound/	 virt/
$ ls /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic/
arch/		drivers@   init@    lib@	    net@       sound@	usr@
block@		firmware@  ipc@     Makefile@	    samples@   source@	virt@
crypto@		fs@	   Kbuild@  mm@		    scripts/   tools@
Documentation@	include/   kernel/  Module.symvers  security@  ubuntu@

So what the <bleep> is it looking for and where "should" it be?

I have the latest updated kernel headers installed....
