Make sure GCC and kernel headers are installed
yum install gcc kernel-devel

Mount your vmware tools .iso YMMV
mkdir /media/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

Extract the VMware tools archive to our home dir
tar -zxvf /media/cdrom/VM* ~/

Run the installer
~/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl

You should be good to go using the defaults for everything.
Reboot and your done.
