I am trying to install the Vmware software in my system but the kernels it requires vmmon and vmmnet is not getting installed. I tried multiple things like installing build-essential & linux-headers-generic. I have installed libelf-dev. I tried using sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all as well
I am getting the error like this. snippet of log file.
