C header files location

[Tim Writer]

Simon is correct. You have to provide the output of:

   % echo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include

to vmware, i.e. in Simon's case:

    /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build/include

Can I make a suggestion? Chris is having a lot of trouble with this and I
think part of it is the confusion added by well meaning people who aren't
sure of the problem but think they can help. If you don't know with
certainty how to help Chris, wait to see if someone else responds before
responding with something that might be incorrect.
