2.6 kernel headers

I've got the kernel-source installed but the vmware config script does 
the following:

---
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? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-1.118/include

The path "/usr/src/linux-2.6.0-1.118/include" is an existing directory, 
but it
does not contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as
expected.
---

so the question is.. where do i point vmware-config.pl so it can find 
the headers?
