Kernel: 2.6.5-1.322 VMWare: 4.0.5 6030 patch: vmware-any-any-update59
The drivers compiled and worked ok for me after updating to any-any-update59. Encountered problem "Permission denied" error running vmware-config.pl. setenforce 0, then ./runme.pl did the trick.
After any change in the enforcing mode, vmware doesn't work anymore and I get
[root@Purgatory root]# service vmware start VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl.
in enforcing Mode:
[root@Purgatory root]# vmware-config.pl
