Install the compiler completely, not just the preprocessor. (I'd imagine
a compiler doesn't fit onto a 1-CD Linux $DISTRO.)

X11 libraries, the render one I don't know, and the z library aren't
found. 2 Possibilities: You don't have them installed, the fix is
obvious. They are installed but are not found - that looks like a
defective system configuration to me. Run ldconfig -p and check the
output contains these libraries. If yes, vmware doesn't find them, if
no, install them and/or ensure the directories they're in are listed in
/etc/ld.so.conf.

Ok, vmware doesn't find them. Either vmware is broken, or ldconfig -p
doesn't show them. If vmware needs to be fixed you'd need to look at
doctoring the vmware-config.pl etc scripts.

Wild guess: X11 was shifted from /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib, and vmware
is slow on the catchup. You may be able to workaround that by creating a
directory /usr/X11R6 and putting into it a symlink called lib pointing
to /usr/lib.
