Get VMware-2.0.2-621 (it works with RHL 7 but you need the kernel source) or 
better yet get VMware-2.0.3-774 (which is beta but seems to work fine).

If you do need to compile, you need to do the following:

1. Install kernel-source

2. If you are running an SMP kernel, get the config file which was used to 
build you kernel and copy it to /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig.

3. Edit the main Makefile and change the EXTRAVERSION = to correcpond to the 
version number.

4. make mrproper
    make oldconfig
    make dep
    make clean
    make bzImage
    make modules

I am not sure that all of this is necessary but it works.

Best bet -- use 2.0.3 -- it has been updated for RHL7 and (if I remember 
correctly) for the 2.4 kernel.
