I am trying to install VMWare Server 1.0.6 , and have also tried VMWare server 2.0.2 BOTH 64 bit, on ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.
But i i keep getting this error:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/build/include/ The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.35-22-generic). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
snaphot of stdout:

in /usr/src, i have:
root@pandora:/usr/src# ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 2011-02-02 18:38 linux-headers-2.6.35-22 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2011-02-02 16:25 linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic
and uname -a returns:
uname -a Linux pandora 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
