Unable to configure vmware with the vmware-config.pl

there's the out put of the compilation:

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable
for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon
module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?
[yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.14_FC3/build/include]

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.

This program previously created the file /dev/vmmon, and was about to
remove it.
Somebody else apparently did it already.

There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration
between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel.  You may
want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
