VMPlayer installation problems

I am trying to install the vmplayer. I DL'd the tarball from the vmware site and untarred it into my home directory. I then ran the install script which seemed to work fine until it needed to find a suitable vmmon...
----------------------------------
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Player is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "3.3.4", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc-3.3" version "3.3.5". This configuration is not recommended and
VMware Player may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same
compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc-3.3" version "3.3.5" anyway? [no]
For more information on how to troubleshoot module-related problems, please
visit our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/download/modules/modules.html"; and
"http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/prebuilt_modules_linux.html";.
Execution aborted. ----------------------------------
The first of the web-sites above gave a "Page not found" error. I read the second page and it basically says that the precompiled kernel modules provided by vmware do not match my kernel.
I am running a debian stock kernel-images-2.6.7-2-k7 under Sarge.
Has anyone gotten vmplayer to install under Sarge? Using stock vmware modules? Using a stock debian kernel? Which kernel?
