j'ai opté pour la premiere solution

voila ce que j'obtient a la fin de l'installation:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2933.fc6/build/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Tu décompresse l'archive et tu lance le runme.pl.............OK
Par contre la fin de l'installation n'est pas clair pour moi:
Voila :

WARNING: VMware Server has been configured to run on a port different from the
default port. Remember to use this port when connecting to this server.
Unable to find any instance of the super-server "inetd" or "xinetd". It is
possible that you do not have one of these packages installed on this machine.
Please install "inetd" or "xinetd".

If you do have "inetd" or "xinetd" installed, make sure that /etc/inetd.conf or
/etc/xinetd.d exists.
The configuration will continue, but you should re-run
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl after you fix the super-server.

Hit enter to continue.

[root@localhost vmware-any-any-update108]#

voila

If you do have "inetd" or "xinetd" installed, make sure that /etc/inetd.conf or
/etc/xinetd.d exists.

je n'ai ni l'un ni l'autre , je fait comment?

oui ils sont installés, la commande "locate" repond

ok pour vmware server mais je me suis planter c'etait Workstation, que je dois mettre, rien a voir je sais ,
par contre desoler , mais pour vmware workstation 5 je bloque encore a cet endroit:( je suis toujours sur le meme pc)

kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2933.fc6-i686/include

The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match
your running kernel (version 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6). Even if the module were to
compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
