Fedora 9, vmware server not compiling


As it states, rebuilt (not upgraded) from f8 to f9 (big mistake) and I am having a problem installing vmware server. I don't see anything jumping out I can google, so anyone get it working on f9 or see what I can do? Here is the error part.

Thanks.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686/build/include]

I think if you search the Vmware forum (not LQ) there's talk of an "any-any" update for VMware (for those running kernel-2.6.25-something) that might help.
