None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes

The directory of kernel headers (version 2.4.19) does not match your running kernel (version 2.4.19-4GB). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
do this cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig make dep Then try vmware-config again

It IS necessary to run the vmware-config.pl ?.
Yes, the kernel modules need to be built. Unless vmware comes with prebuilt kernel modules that fit into the suse kernel they need to be recompiled Anders
