gcc path not valid when installing VMWare Tools from VMWare Workstation 7.1.1 build-282343 on Debian squeeze

Question

I am trying to install VMWare tools on Debian Squeeze.

My error:

Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed... 

make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel

Searching for GCC...
The path "/usr/bin/gcc" is not valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [yes] 

uname -a:

Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 18 02:14:45 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

dpkg -l | grep make

whereis gcc

gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/lib/gcc

Answer 1

Running this command fixed the problem:

sudo aptitude install gcc-4.3 linux-headers-`uname -r` -y

Answer 2

Like Guillaume said in OP's comment:

sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-0
