I do have the same thing:

In file included from <stdin>:2:
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1948_FC5/build/include/asm/page.h:71:23: error:
mach_page.h: No such file or directory
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.1948_FC5/build/include]

I did patch the vmware-config.pl. But still the same issue. Ive
attached my patch to this mail. Is there something wrong with it?
