When Ubuntu6.10 cannot install vmware-tools

[size=13]The installation stops at:[/size]
[quote]What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
[/quote]
[size=13]Whatever path I give it here will be in vain, since I don't have any headers actually.

How this problem came to me is after:[/size]
[code]$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade[/code]
[size=13]which made my shared directory set in VMware6 could not be seen in Ubuntu any more and meanwhile got latest kernel surprisingly without any headers which finally stopped me when I was reinstalling the vmware-tools.

So, I need to install the headers for the release of the kernel just installed.

To find this out, type:[/size]
[code]$ uname -r[/code]

[size=13]Install them:[/size]
[code]$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-<result from uname -r above>
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential (doesn't work for me however)
[/code]
[size=13]Then ererything should be ok now. Go ahead and try to install vmware-tools again. :)
