[mdlug] VMWare on openSUSE 10.3 Cannot Find C Header Files

Hello Everyone,
	I'm trying to get VMware v5.5.5 configured on openSUSE 10.3. After
issuing ./vmware-install.pl all goes well with the default configuration
until I get to:

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 (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?
[yes] 

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? [/usr/src/linux/include] 

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

	The compiler I have installed is gcc 4.2. I can't seem to find anything
on VMware discussion list about this. The last time I ran VMware was on
openSUSE 10.2 so I'm assuming something changed. Is the location of the
C header files the directory in which it's installed? I'm unsuccessfully
trying to search for that using Nautilus. Which direction do I go from
here?

Best Regards,
