Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a

.desktop file extension.

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?

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)?

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?

The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is an existing directory, but it does not

contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running

kernel?

How do I solve this for Red Hat 4?

[jsa]

By installing kernel source.

You need to install the kernel-source package that matches the version of your running kernel

You may want to post the output of uname -a to see your kernel version.

Appreciate the feedback, I discovered that what I thought was the 64 bit rpm was in fact the 32bit.

The VMware installer was looking for the kernal source to compile for 64 bit, I discovered that the path that it indicated was not the location of the RH headers.

I searched the RH directories: find -name 'kernal' and found the folder with the libaries, the title stated 64 bit and it reminded me to dbl check the rpm downloaaded.
