You're probably making the same mistake I did and looking in /usr/src. 
You actually need to use /lib/modules/{kernel}/build/include/ .  Unlike
2.4 kernels, you don't need kernel-source to build the modules. 

You will need to use the patch package from
http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update53.tar.gz

Those two bits of knowledge, and the commenting out of the page_offset
error, will enable VMWare to build properly.

Is the fault that of the kernel package builders, the kernel developers,
or VMware?  Is it fault, or just progress?
