Hi Paul,

Try http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=621855#621855

Based on the forum, here what I did..

# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/

# tar -xvvf vmmon.tar

# edit vmmon-only/include/compat_kernel.h

        change from;

        static inline _syscall1(int,compat_exit,int,exit_code);

        to;

        #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19)
        static inline _syscall1(int,compat_exit,int,exit_code);
        #endif

# tar -cvvf vmmon.tar vmmon-only/

And then run vmware-config.pl again..

HTH.
