I had VMWare WorkStation working fine on Fedora 3, but have not been able to get Workstation 5.5.1 or 5.5.2, nor Server 1.0.1 installed since upgrading to Fedora 5.
The Fedora 5 installation is running kernel 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5. I have not done any kernel rebuilds. I tried applying the vmware-any-any to Workstation 5.5.2 and got the same error as on attempted config of Server 1.0.1:
Building modules, stage 2.

Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:

There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
What is my next move?
