I downloaded and installed successfully vmware workstation 7 on my computer.
but now when I run it it ask for kernal headers of linux kernal 2.6.38-10-generic , some C files it is looking for to compile its modules. I have searched the internet for the location of the files but I have not been able to. Can any one please tell me where are these linux headers stored in Ubuntu 11.04

/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-10-generic

if u want to search any file quickly.. use locate command

first enter below command
sudo updatedb
and then give below command
sudo locate filename
