Hi Don,
Try the information in the following URL.

Or more specifically the following.
This section has the following instructions to make kernel source files
usable so vmware-config.pl can compile the kernel modules.
1. Install kernel-source.$ARCH.rpm.
2. Change to the /usr/src/linux directory. Run the following command:
make cloneconfig
3. Run the following command:
make modules_prepare
I was also having problems running VMWare Workstation 5 on a Suse 9.3 host
and this fixed the problem for me.
Haven't been able to try VMWare on FC4 yet as I got a boot block signal
error after installing. Still investigating but I suspect it may be
something to do with the LVM.
