I have downloaded an installer bundle from vmware website, the file name is: VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle
My OS is linuxmint-debian-edition, but actually debian version is wheezy/sid, and kernel version is: Linux lxie 2.6.39-2-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 8 11:01:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
My problem is, that after I install this bundle, I can't run VMware Workstation. I ran that application, it reminded me that some modules must be compiled and loaded into kernel before I can run Workstation. So I clicked "Install", and I got error like this:

It's a bit long. I have tried to install servel packages. It didn't work. What should I do to make it work?
