vmware player for 2.6.19 kernel rebuild problem [SOLVED :D]

when i'm trying to build vmware modules (running sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl) i get the following problem:

Building for VMware Player 1.0.x or VMware Workstation 5.5.x.
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only'

I already edited /lib/modules/2.6.19-ARCH/build/include/linux/version.h and added

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.19-ARCH"

there.

Any ideas? Is anyone using wmvare player on the 2.6.19 kernel? Thanks!

Re: vmware player for 2.6.19 kernel rebuild problem [SOLVED :D]

Well, the solution was to install vmware-any-any-update106.tar.gz  (taken from http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/?M=A, as comment on the AUR suggested).
