Problem with installing VMware Server 2.0.2 on CentOS 6 x86_64

I downloaded VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64.rpm from the official VMware Website.

After installation, it requires run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

Stopping VMware autostart virtual machines:
   Virtual machines                                        [FAILED]
Stopping VMware management services:
   VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access
   VMware Server Host Agent                                [FAILED]
Stopping VMware services:
   VMware Authentication Daemon                            [  OK  ]
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]

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] 

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/2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64/build/include]

Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Building the vmmon module.

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

VMware Server 2.0 reached the end of support as seen here. If you like VMWare products, you might want to give VMWare Player a try. In either case, EL6 (CentOS 6) is probably not officially supported. Another option is VirtualBox. We have a very good resident support person for VirtualBox in the forums.
