Need help with vmware

when i run ./vmware-config.pl it gets to a part where it says:

Code:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? &#91;/usr/src/linux/include&#93;

well /usr/src/linux/include doesnt actually exist so where does it keep them then?

a bit more info on what im trying to do:
first i type vmware and a box apears saying:

Code:

VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been &#40;correctly&#41; configured for your running kernel. To &#40;re-&#41; configure it, your system administrator must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more information, please read the VMware Workstation documentation.

so then i run vmware-config.pl:

Code:

# vmware-config.pl
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

Stopping VMware services&#58;
   Virtual machine monitor                                      &#91;  OK  &#93;

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

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system &#40;you need to have a C compiler installed on your system&#41;? &#91;yes&#93;

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? &#91;/usr/src/linux/include&#93;

and this is where i am stuck^
