There is a bug in the vmware-config.pl script that is exposed by
changes to the newer kernel headers.

I've reported this to vmware:
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=31877&tstart=0

Here is the patch described there:

--- vmware-config.pl.old        2005-12-15 21:55:24.000000000 -0800
+++ vmware-config.pl    2006-02-04 16:53:06.000000000 -0800

-  if ($header_page_offset =~ /[0-9a-fA-F]{8,}/) {
+  if ($header_page_offset =~ /^$pattern \(?0x([0-9a-fA-F]{8,})/) {
+    $header_page_offset = $1;
    # We found a valid page offset
    if (defined($gSystem{'page_offset'}) and
        not (lc($header_page_offset) eq lc($gSystem{'page_offset'}))) {

BTW, if you have not already done so, you may also need to make minor
changes in the makefiles that get run by vmware-config.pl.  Described
in vmware discussion group here:

http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=337443#337443

[You'll know you'll need to do this if vmware-config.pl compiles fail....]

Hope this helps,
