vmware on arch 64

been following the wiki but the step where it says to link in the already-compiled modules so the script doesn't try to re-compile them doesn't work.  any ideas. thanks.

cd /32root/vmware-server-distrib/lib/modules/binary    # (*or 'cd ../binary')
mkdir -p `uname -r`/objects
cd `uname -r`

echo UtsRelease `uname -r` > properties
echo SMP yes >> properties
# (-> only these 2 lines are necessary - the rest are not)

cp /32root/vmware-server-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmmon.o objects
cp /32root/vmware-server-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmnet.o objects
    # (*or 'cp ../../source/*.o objects')
