Thanks, Peter.

I continue to receive the same errors.

Believing that perhaps my kernel build tree was corrupt I uninstalled 
vmware and the kernel sources and started from scratch.

(as root)
rpm --install kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm
rpm --install kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm

cd /tmp
tar zxvf VMware-5.5.1-workstation-19175.tar.gz
cd vmware-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
(accepted defaults until asked to run vmware-config.pl: no)

cd ..
tar zxvf vmware-any-any-update99.tar.gz
cd vmware-any-any-update99
./runme.pl
(script performed patches then asked to run vmware-config.pl: yes)
(accepted defaults)

Same errors as before:
   irq_vectors.h not found
   NR_IRQS and NR_IRQ_VECTORS undefined.

Anybody have any experiences like these?

Thanks for any help.
