vmware-workstation-4.0.4460 is the version I installed from Portage. I used vmware-config.pl and I first ran into a problem with something about my kernel headers being uniprocessor but my kernel being multiprocessor. I found the workaround to that problem on the vmware web site. I had to edit my autoconf.h. So after I got past that point, vmware-config.pl tried to compile the vmmon module and it stopped with the error below.
