I had the same issue. I solved it by makeing a copy of the
vmware-config.pl script, then commenting out the section where it checks
for the multi-processor-ness of the running kernel and the sources.
After that tweak, everything worked correctly.
I never fully investigated what was going on, but I ruled out the
kernel-header-2.4.0 vs. kernel-2.2.16 thing right way. The vmware config
script only looks at the headers in /usr/src/linux. It looked like it was
just having difficult following the chain of includes in the kernel header
file it was trying to parse, but once I got it working by commenting out
the check completely I stopped investigating.
