I tried to install vmware player: VMware-Player-5.0.1-894247.x86_64.bundle on the up to date archlinux.
after i run
./VMware-Player-5.0.1-894247.x86_64.bundle
with system service script directory to /etc/rc.d/
and
ln -s /etc/init.d/vmware /etc/rc.d/vmware
successfully.
i tried to run
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
failed with a errror messager
Failed to setup build environment.
what should i do?

Never mind! I had the same problem, solved this way:
1) instal llinux header files for active kernel
sudo pacman -S linux-header
2) should you not have base-devel installed already, do it now:
sudo pacman -S base-devel
3) start vmplayer and it will take care of rebuilding all the modules needed
sudo vmplayer
It worked for me, I hope it will for you as well.
best wishes

i finally solved this problem by
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/modinfo /sbin/modinfo
hope this information will help somebody.
