[ale] vmware and kernel 2.4.9?

[Robert L. Harris]

Anyone have any luck compiling the modules for vmware and kernel 2.4.9?

I get this:

Do you accept? (yes/no) yes

Thank you.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

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

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running 
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.9/build/include]
