Hi,

after installation of VMware Workstation I am havint the problem that the C header files matching my kernel were not found when starting VMware Workstation the first time.
But when try to install linux-headers they are the newest version.



root@k4li:/# uname -a
Linux k4li 3.7-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.7.2-0+kali6 x86_64 GNU/Linux

root@k4l1:# agi linux-headers-3.7-trunk-amd64

linux-headers-3.7-trunk-amd64 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


I also have to set the path to Kernel Headers which should be /usr/src/linux right?
