Hi,

on recent kernels the vmware-server-kernel-source module does not
compile[1]. However patched with the vmware-any-any sources it does
work.
[1] http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=712792

Currently vmware-package splits the vmware-server and vmware-any-any
in two packages. But IMHO it would be nice if id would do the patching
with vmware-any-any automatically, and build a single merged
vmware-kernel-source.tar.bz2 file which compiles cleanly.

Regards,
  Bastian
