Installing VMWARE Workstation 10 in Cahakra Bernz

I managed to google my way through any problems with the vmware workstation installer, but now I am stuck on launching vmware.

Code:
xplorer4x4@chakra-pc ~]$ sudo  vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
sh: /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/init.d/vmware: No such file or directory
Unable to stop services
Code:
[xplorer4x4@chakra-pc ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware start

Sorry, try again.

You might check the /var/log folder and see if there's a log file for vmware. That may give you a better hint as to what the problem is.

I see missing file errors but beyond that, no. I am new to a systemd distro. I tried following this guide to ensure everything was set up properly, but the guide is a bit old but still seems mostly accurate. I will try to run the installer again and see if that help, but beyond that I have no idea.

Reinstall did not change anything.

The final line from your vm log

seems to show that the system is happy. Was this line really the final line of the log before the program crashed?

The program does not crash, but rather this is the initial launch where I need to install kernel modules. It fail to install the modules needed. Yes that was the final line.

Does it have anything to do with the fact that the log repeatedly says in can't find version.h? Have you downloaded the headers package for your kernel?

I don't understand. The message
Code:
Failed to find /lib/modules/3.9.2-1-CHAKRA/build/include/linux/version.h
seems to indicate that you do not have the 3.9.2-1-CHAKRA headers package installed. Have you checked if the path //lib/modules/3.9.2-1-CHAKRA/ exists on your system?
