When I run /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl, I see no errors, but it doesn't work :/ What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl. The configuration of VMware Workstation 5.0.0 build-13014 for Linux for this running kernel completed successfully. You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command: "/opt/vmware/bin/vmware".

For whatever reason, it wasn't deleting /etc/vmware/not_configured
I've added VMware 5 to portage and removed the release candidates.
