If you are having issues installing VMware, please jump on over to our discussion forums [1] so we can help to solve the problems you are experiencing. The particular problem you are probably running into is that you are installing VMware on a system that we don't ship pre-built modules for. In this case, the installer will try to build the modules for your running kernel, so you need the kernel headers installed on the system. Presumably you didn't build your own kernel, since the headers would be there, so you'll need to install the corresponding kernel headers or source package. What distro and kernel version are you running?
