Hi all,
I'm trying to install vmware workstation (VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.i386.bundle) in my new Fedora 11:
Linux fedora11.devbox 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:14:37 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Kernel 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586
I installed kernel-headers gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
Searching around the net, bring me to a conclusion that my kernel may not be the right one so need to update and apply a patch (any-any patch 113) in which also did.
However launching the bundle install after it finishes successfully then tried to launch the application from the gui, it gives me this error:
"Before you can run vmware workstation, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel..."
Cancel or Install?
When I click install, it gives me this error:
"Unable to build kernel module.See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-7243.log for details...."
Error Log:

Anyone has seen this error?
Need advise please.
