After the kernel 2.6.24,I can not compile vmware properly.
I searched the solution.
from:http://www.blogjava.net/xiaosilent/archive/2008/04/22/194699.html

Problem: include/asm/bitops_32.h:9:2: error: #error only <linux/bitops.h> can be included directly, and vmmon-only compile failes

Solution: change line 74 in vmmon-only source file to read: #include “linux/bitops.h”

Steps:

1. cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
2. sudo cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.bak
3. sudo tar xvf vmmon.tar
4. cd vmmon-only/include/
5. sudo gedit vcpuset.h
6. change line 74 from: #include “asm/bitops.h” to: #include “linux/bitops.h”
7. rm vmmon.tar
8. sudo tar cvf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
9. sudo rm -rf vmmon-only
10. sudo vmware-config.pl
