Ubuntu Lucid lynx beta: module compilation error, unable to build kernel module

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 beta (Lucid lynx). I was able to install my VMWARE WOrkstation 6.52. Howeve when I try to run it,

I get the messssage about having to compile and load modules into the kernel. Following this the error message,

"unable to build kernel module , See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-9520.log for details." appears.

I'm not able access that path.

any help with this greatly appreciated

Mani
