VMware and 2.6.26-grml kernel

Hi,

Has anyone get any version of VMware working under the 2.6.26-grml kernel?

I am trying to install the latest VMware.Workstation.v6.5.0.118166, but 
get a compilation error -- see http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue553 .

According to 
http://www.archlinux.it/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_VMware

"With 2.6.26 and VMWare 6.5 _no_ any-any patch is needed anymore (6.5.0 
build-118166). The graphical installer works just fine and all the 
modules work out of the box"

but I'm having difficulties. Please help. 

thanks

http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_devel ->
"Kernel headers not fully functional, execute kernel-headers-fix.sh
to fix the issue on-the-fly."
-> http://grml.org/2.6.26/kernel-headers-fix.sh

Yes, "as advertised" after applying the following fix.
