I did, but still got the error.  I included more info this time:

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for 
your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc-3.3". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your 
running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-586tsc/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Building the vmmon module.

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

What am I missing here?
