Oh, kernel source.  It sounds like Robert needs to extract and configure
a kernel source tree before building VMware modules, then - which makes
sense.  Perhaps follow the kernel build instructions here:

http://openwall.info/wiki/Owl/kernel-build#Non-RPM-ed-kernel-build

up to and including the "make oldconfig" command (the actual kernel
build doesn't need to be performed - we merely need a source tree
configured just like one for our actual kernels).  Robert?
