Kernel: 2.6.5-1.322
VMWare: 4.0.5 6030
patch: vmware-any-any-update59

The drivers compiled and worked ok for me after updating to 
any-any-update59.
Encountered problem "Permission denied" error running vmware-config.pl.
setenforce 0, then
./runme.pl did the trick.

After any change in the enforcing mode, vmware doesn't work anymore and I 
get

[root at Purgatory root]# service vmware start
VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured
for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the
following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.


in enforcing Mode:

[root at Purgatory root]# vmware-config.pl

With setenforce 0, running vmware-config.pl everything works again but i 
get these avcs

(see next msg ... too long listing)

Hope these help
