VMWare server will install on CentOS 5 without the need of the any-any
patch. The symlink is all that is required and the kernel-devel
packages. When going through the configuration script, it when it
cannot identify where the sources are it will then prompt you for a new
location whilst showing the current search location.

I downloaded from their site. When it asked for the C header files for
my installed kernel (2.6.18-6), hey could not be found. When I
initially installed CentOS, I made sure everything was included, so I am
at a loss why they can not be found. I haven't tried installing it via
the RPM, but I don't think it will make a difference. Any and all
thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

Once you have the kernel-devel package installed, I believe you need to
make a link called /usr/src/linux from the actual location of the kernel
headers. Sorry I can't be more specific. I did that a month or so ago,
and I'm not at that machine right now.
