Usually, if VMware can't find kernel-headers, you need the kernel-devel
package. 

The kernel-devel package number has to match the result of uname -r.  What
I frequently see on the forums is that someone updated, got a newer package
of kernel-devel, but hasn't rebooted, so there will be a version mismatch.  

Also, if running a PAE kernel, one has to specify kernel-PAE-devel.  (Which
doesn't seem relevant in your case).
