What should i do? i tried re-running the install script but it would just output that the setup program cannot build the vmware module. i checked the website and followed the instructions to recompile the kernel with pc-style hardware configured as a module. what else should i do?

Sounds exactly like the problem I ran into where when during
the install it tried to compile the vmmon module and puked.
I found a fix by using the 'vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz' to replace
the module source which was causing the problem. After that it compiled
without major problems.
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz
Also, I am using kernel 2.4.9 and the fact that the file indicates
"for 2.4.7 only" did not prevent it from working with 2.4.9.
