[issue911] Can't install Vmware v7x smoothly under grml

[Tong Sun]

New submission from Tong Sun <suntong001 at gmail.com>:

Hi, 

The latest Vmware Workstation (version >=7.0) cannot be installed smoothly under
grml. I tried VmWare v7.0, v7.1 and the lasted v7.1.2, all give me  

 gcc and kernel headers must be installed

even though I got gcc, build-essential and kernel header installed.

I believe that the problem is that grml kernel header (the one that I have
currently is linux-headers-2.6.35-grml64) lacks some fundamental files that
Debian or other distros have.

Details at

Thanks
