Installing the RPMFusion repositories for your version of Fedora wouldn't hurt either.

Glennzo,

I've installed the RPMFusion as suggested, now what?

[rexbinary]

What version of VMware are you working with?

[rmhiggins]

does this mean anything to any of you....

C header files matching your running kernel were not found. Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions.

Hi rexbinary,

I've installed VMWare Workstation 6.5.1

[rexbinary]

Yes it means VMware is not looking in the right place for your installed header files. Most pre-2.0 versions of the server required a patch to be able to compile. What version VMware are you attempting to install?

[glennzo]

What about installing gcc ??

Off to work. Good luck!

[rexbinary]

I googled for you....

You owe me a gooogle back!

[rmhiggins]

that's great but how do I run the patch?

Also, the VMware version is 126130.i386
