Broken things in kernel 2.6.6-mm2 and 2.6.6-mm3

[Jesus Delgado]

Hi:

      Kernel's 2.6.6 and previous 2.6.6-rcX-mmX working good with
modules ATI fglrx 3.7.6 and VMware 4.5.1.

       When running kernel 2.6.6-mm2 and 2.6.6.-mm3  the modules
broken in compilation, the messages is:

      VMware 4.5.1

     [root@toshiba root]# vmware-config.pl
Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped.

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
 
None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules 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)? [yes]
 
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? [/lib/modules/2.6.6/build/include]
