Hello everyone,
I'm using fedora 17 and kernel 3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 and i have a very similar problem with vmplayer like here http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpre...-kernel-3-4-0/.
In a short, i can't run vmplayer after succesfull install 'cause failing compile moduls: Virtual Network Devices and VMware blocking Filesystem. (vmblock and vmnet)

If you read the link then you'll insist there is a patch. Solution by using the path did't work for me. Can anyone help me to fix this problem? Thank you very much.

My log from vmplayer is in the pastebin

How did you install VMPlayer? From the VMWare website I assume?

Also, have you tried to run all the build commands seperately in a terminal? They're all in the log file you provided. It seems like only vmnet and vmblock don't build...

You are right. I installed VMWplayer (4.0.4) from official websiet.

After some experimented I can run VMplayer. When I used kernel-headers-3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64 instead of kernel-headers-3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 then I could compile all VMware modules. Even when i use kernel-3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64. Of course i had to use patch. It's strange for me but it work now.
and you want to patch again then you have to remove file "
Thank you for your response.

PS: You have to change a variable from plreqver=4.0.2 to plreqver=4.0.4. And one more hint: If you used the patch already and you want to patch again then you have to remove file ".patched" in a path "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source."
