Well, found a fix for my problem. I grabbed the latest patch from this location and everything worked after that. ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update84.tar.gz ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update84.tar.gz Their readme specifically states support for x86_64 in many previous versions. dave wrote:
Thanks, but that cleared up only the one error. Still having problems, output below.

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)? [yes]
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? [/usr/src/linux/include]

WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.3/Module.symvers is missing, modules will have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS disabled.
Had this issue until I copied in Module.symvers to the specified location. You'll find it under /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.3-obj/x86-64/ Get the one for the kernel you're running.
