Hi everybody,
i am working on an intel based imac , just installed fusion on it. One of my guestsystems is an debian based linux, its called sidux and not on the list of supported distros. The vm itself has been created with the trial version of fusion from cd, and the problem is when i start the vm and try to install the vmware-tools i get this message in the end

Unable to build the vmmemctl module.
The memory manager driver (vmmemctl module) is used by VMware host software to
efficiently reclaim memory from a virtual machine.
If the driver is not available, VMware host software may instead need to swap
guest memory to disk, which may reduce performance.
The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you want the memory management feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.
Does anyone know what that means ? Any ideas what to do?
