VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.
Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the command for
you now?
Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor
Blocking file system:
Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0
Host network detection
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1
DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8
NAT service on /dev/vmnet8
Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8
Virtual ethernet
Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.
In which directory do you want to install the theme icons?

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a
.desktop file extension.
In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?

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