You'll need the kernel-devel package (yum install kernel-devel) and the vmware 
any-any patch if you're running vmware workstation 5. 
http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gz

There is an issue with vmware 6 on newer >= 2.6.21/22 kernels where the 
network part of the workstation/player fails to build. See this thread for 
people's various patched tarballs and instructions on how to apply them:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/645058

I've had good success with this one: http://chaz6.com/?p=196

That being said, Starcraft runs fabulously well under Wine, there is no real 
need to run it in a virtual machine that I can see.
