VMware won't open. "Kernel headers 3.5.0-27-generic" cannot found & "c header files".

Hey all,

Im hoping someone can help me as Ive tried several different things to get this working and having no luck.

I have managed to install VMware which wouldnt work first time without the command: sudo rmmod kvm-intel - Unsure why that happened but managed to bypass it.

Now when trying to open vmware I get a box which says "Before you can run VMware player, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel" then "Kernel headers for version 3.5.0-37-generic were not found. If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below". Ive tried linking the location path to /usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-37-generic and /lib/modules/3.5.0-37-generic but each time I get the error message "C header files matching your running kernel were not found".

Ive also tried the following commands after a bit of research but still doesnt work.

sudo ln -sf /usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-37-generic/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-37-generic/include/linux/version.h


sudo ln -s /lib/modules/3.5.0-37-generic/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h /lib/modules/3.5.0-37-generic/build/include/linux/utsrelease.h


sudo ln -s /lib/modules/3.5.0-37-generic/build/include/generated/autoconf.h /lib/modules/3.5.0-37-generic/build/include/linux/autoconf.h

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Regards
Jamie
