VMware configure trouble on FC5

[Jack Gates]

I am trying to configure VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm on 
FC5 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp

I have installed the kernel-smp-devel kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5.src.rpm

/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl is looking for something 
in /usr/src/linux/include

/linux/include none of this part of the above exists

I tell it to look here
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2174_FC5-smp-i686/include

but it gives me this

The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the 
same
address space size as your running kernel.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match 
your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

What am I missing or what don't I have installed that it is looking 
for so it can finish the configuration?

Do

yum install kernel-smp-devel

and then run vmware-config again.

Did already and did a reboot just good measure.
