Pb to Install VMWare Wks 6 on Gutsy Gibbon ... compilation errors

Hello.

I know I'm not on a supported machine ... but I think you can help ...

Kernel 2.6.22-8-generic

Here is the Output :

Extracting the sources of the vmnet module.

Building the vmnet module.

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

I attempted to apply the recommendations from :

\- http://npw.net/2007/05/17/vmware-workstation-60-on-linux-2622/

\- http://icanthack.com/?p=53

But Failed .

Any idea ?

Thanks
