None of the pre-built vsock modules for VMware Server is suitable for your 
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vsock module for 
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] 

Extracting the sources of the vsock module.

There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the 
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel.  You may want to 
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

The VM communication interface socket family is used in conjunction with the VM
communication interface to provide a new communication path among guests and 
host.  The rest of this software provided by VMware Server is designed to work 
independently of this feature.  If you wish to have the VSOCK feature  you can 
install the driver by running vmware-config.pl again after making sure that 
gcc, binutils, make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are 
installed on your machine. These packages are available on your distribution's 
installation CD.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running

The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match
your running kernel (version 2.6.27-4-generic).  Even if the module were to 
compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
