A. I'd advise against using vmware under a xen kernel. IMHO Even if does
work, you're opening the door to a world of trouble.
B. Please execute this command:
$ ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include
Does it return anything?
C. If it does (meaning you have a working kernel-devel package), try
executing this command:
$ touch /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux/config.h
And retry running vmware-config.pl.
