Description of problem:
running vmware-config.pl (with vmware 2.0.4)
finds no pre-built drivers; attempting to build them from source gets
compile errors on vmmon

(this is on a machine upgraded from RH 7.1 to 7.2,
vmware used to work fine on 7.1, especally after the prior
patch from redhat)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.upgrade RH 7.1 machine to 7.2
2.run vmware-config.pl
3. see error below
	

Actual Results:  dash# vmware-config.pl

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

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

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running 
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/build/include]

Expected Results:  vmmon should build and vmware should install cleanly :-)

Additional info:

(My apologies about the pseudo-open source vmware bug.
I'll post to vmware's site as well.  But the RH folks seem
more clued about getting fixes out quick about this kind of thing,
and with much-hacked kernels it's hard to know where to point
the finger.)
