Install the kernel headers (source is a good idea too) for the kernel that you're running, then re-run the vmware-config.pl script and it *should* find everything and rebuild all the modules for you.

I installed the source but using yast I can't find the headers and searches lead to people who can't find the headers. Should they be on the dvd I burned (personal) to install?

No need to muck about finding them.
Assuming you have installed them (kernel source) and gcc just do the following:

As root in terminal

cd usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make prepare-all

Then run vmware-config.pl

Run VMWare!

You'll need to do this each time you update your kernel.
