Im trying to install Vmware Worstation 3.1 on Redhat 9, So I installed it from an rpm then ran vmware-config.pl but as soon as its building some modules for it to work it shows an error and thats it.

This version of Vmware used to work on redhat 8, is there any way I can get it to work?

by the way, here is the error I get when running vmware-config.pl :

are your kernel sources installed?

i'm running vmware 4.0 on rh9 latest kernel without issue, not that it helps.
