Ok i finally got vmplayer configured ad running. As i mentioned in the post below, i dint have the FC5 sources. so i downloaded the rpm for the same and installed it.
Running vmware-config.pl and providing the path to the kernel headers (/usr/src/linux/include) threw me an address space conflit error. googled for the error using the exact phrase and it threw me a number of links. This link http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-tools-any-update1.tar.gz has a patch to the vmware-config.pl to resolve the address space conflict issue.
now my vmplayer runs with win XP. phew a relief!!!
