I am tring to install Vmware Workstation 17 on my device. I installed the .bundle file got from the official website. Installed gcc gcc-11 gcc-12 build-essentials via apt.Then I ran the command sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all but found this error.The very first output imageSo I did the replacement of codes from mkubecek's Github repo. It did not work. This is VMware Player 17.5.1 build-23298084. What else I can do??Here is the log from the command
