*Q: Why does vmware-config.pl report "There is probably a light 
difference of kernel configuration between the set of C header files you 
specified and your running kernel"?*

*A:* This error message is displayed when the configuration program 
successfully builds custom VMware Workstation modules but they are 
incompatible with your running kernel. This happens when there is a 
mismatch between your running kernel and the directory of header files. 
Some distribution vendors ship a directory of header files that exhibits 
this problem. We encourage them to fix it. In the meantime, please 
consider recompiling your Linux kernel. This is the only way to ensure 
that the directory of header files will match your Linux kernel exactly.
