can't configure vmware 3.2.1 on fc1

I use the VMWare program on my linux desktop to run windows programs
with no Linux equivalent. Each time I change my kernel version I need to
recompile vmware. It normally works fine but I am having a problem with
my fedora system. When I run vmware-config.pl I get the following error:
The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.
Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.
Then build a kernel with module support enabled.
I am bold so I tried to build a new kernel with the
make xconfig && make dep && make clean && make bzImage
technique. I have had no luck with that at all. The make bzImage fails
for me. It seems to object to the acpi section. I have played with it
quite a bit and keep striking out. Is there a simpler approach to my
problem? I want to be Windows Free, but sometimes you need a little hair
of the dog that bit you.
Regards,
Clem

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for
your
running kernel. Do you want this script 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.
Argument "gcc (GCC) 3" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl line 1493, <STDIN> line 1.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/build/include]
