Ok got gcc installed, now the configuration script is throwing errors.
Here is the output. 
Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

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

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running 
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.7-10enterprise/build/include]

On the website the suggest downgrading gcc.  I applied for tech support
but they need to register my s/n.  The dumb web registration setup leads
to a null page.
