I've been running VMware Workstation 2.0.4 on Suse 7.1 w/ the 2.4.x kernel for a couple of months now. I had the same problem when I problem that you are having.
I finally wound up installing the copy of VMware that came on the Suse CD's and them used RPM to update to the current version.

Subject: [SLE] VMware on 7.2
Hello,
I am trying to install VMware workstation 2.0 on my 7.2 system. I used the
RPM file which seemed to install fine. When I run the configuration script I
get the following error:
"What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is a kernel header file directory, but it
does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected. This can happen if
the kernel has never been built, or if you have invoked the "make mrproper"
command in your kernel directory. In any case, you may want to rebuild your
kernel."
I have looked in /usr/src/linux/include and version.h is not there. I ran
"which version.h" but can not find the version file.
The docs suggest using Suse 7.1 with kernel 2.2.x, of course I am using 7.2
and 2.4.x
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dominic
