VMWare Tools for Ubuntu Hardy


I am using VMWare tools for Ubuntu Hardy, but for some reason vmware-install.pl finds fault with my LINUX headers. The error message says that the "address space size" doesn't match.

To try and remediate, I have resorted to vmware-any-any-update117, and am now getting the following error instead:

In file included from include/asm/page.h:3,
       from /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/common/hostKernel.h:56,
       from /tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/common/task.c:30:
include/asm/page_32.h: In function ‘pte_t native_make_pte(long unsigned int)’:
include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token
include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘{’ token
include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected primary-expression before ‘.’ token
include/asm/page_32.h:112: error: expected `;' before ‘}’ token

Can anyone help me make some sense of this, please?
