Trying to install the VMWare demo from VMWare.com. After installing all 
the files, I get the following message when trying to run vmware-config.pl:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

If I hit enter for the defaul location, I get this:

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is a kernel header file directory, but

it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected. This can
happen if the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the
"make mrproper" command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may
want to rebuild your kernel.

This is a fresh install of 7.2 from the weekend. Is there anything to be

done besides rebuilding the kernel?

If not, can someone point me to a good document on rebuilding the
kernel? I searched the SuSE site, and I found a document that basically
said, "If you're not an expert, Don't Do It!"

Obviously, I'm not an expert . . . .

Thanks
