Has anyone gotten vmware to work under pre-release 0.9...

when I run vmware-config.pl, I get the following error:

*snip*

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux-2.4/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:

There is probably a light difference of kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want
to rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems,
please havea look at
"http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html";.

Execution aborted.

this works fine under 2.4.0 kernel. (at least this is what vmware claims
:)
