Debian has a non standard method for the kernel headers in
/usr/includ/{linux,asm}. You need to either link these directories to
your actual kernel headers or you need to modify the Makefiles in the
driver-only.tar and vmnet-only.tar file in the vmware-distrib directory
to include your kernel headers. This has been discussed MANY times on
this list since April. Check the list archives at www.debian.org.
