make sure your system have gcc ,g++ and  kennel header file.
eg: linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686

Today. I have install VMware Workstation 5.5 for linux
Alway met the question:
The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.24-1-686). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
And I modify /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
add  #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.24-1-686".

Then met the question:
/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only/./include/vm_basic_types.h:170: error: conflicting types for ‘uintptr_t’
I think over again,but no problem on old kernel.
So I download new patch from the follow links
http://rtr.ca/vmware-2.6.24/vmware-any-any-update115a.tgz
And it's work fine finally.
