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

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r8/build/include]

sk8harddiefast,

Go back to emerge

app-emulation/vmware-server-2.0.2.203138 and app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.24-r1 build and load as a set.
There is a later version of vmware-modules but they do not work with vmware-server, so you will need an entry in /etc/portage/package.mask so portage does not see them, like this:-
