Errors in the kernel installation

Hello,

from this thread ( http://vmware-forum.de/viewtopic.php?p=28259#28259 ) I have exquisite, that it does "apt-get install linux-headers-$ (uname-r)" must run vmware it properly. And exactly this is also missing, as the screen displays the VMware. But how do I install it?
If I want to install normally, I get the message:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-2.6.32-238.19.1.el5.028stab092.2
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-2.6.32-238.19.1.el5.028stab092.2'

What should I do, I would like to get on the server to run

regards

PS: Use at the server Debian 6

Welcome to the Community,

last time I installed VMware Tools on Debian 6 I used:

- apt-get install gcc-4.3 linux-headers-2.6-amd64 make
- export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.3

(maybe there are newer versions already)

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-2.6.32-238.19.1.el5.028stab092.2'
