There is a bug in the vmware-config.pl script that is exposed by
changes to the newer kernel headers.
I've reported this to vmware:
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=31877&tstart=0
Here is the patch described there:

if (defined($gSystem{'page_offset'}) and
not (lc($header_page_offset) eq lc($gSystem{'page_offset'}))) {
BTW, if you have not already done so, you may also need to make minor
changes in the makefiles that get run by vmware-config.pl. Described
in vmware discussion group here:
http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=337443#337443
[You'll know you'll need to do this if vmware-config.pl compiles fail....]
Hope this helps,
