Problem installing VMware 7 workstation bundle


Hi all
I am having problem installing VMware
VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle
on my fedora core 15 machine
I have all the packages kernel-devel, kernel-headers installed
Still the VMware complains about the c kernel header files like following:

Logging to /tmp/vmware-root/setup-31129.log
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmmon
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmnet
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmblock
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmci
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vsock
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmmon
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmnet
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmblock
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmci
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vsock
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmmon
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmnet
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmblock
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmci
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vsock
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmmon
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmnet
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmblock
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vmci
ERROR: modinfo: could not find module vsock

pls help, it further looks into /usr/src folder where the sources of the current kernel are already installed.
The modinfo looks into the folder /usr/include where it is nat capable of finding the above needed files..

when i reinstall the kernel-header rpm it does not provide the above given files..

ps hlp..

there is no operating system called "fedora core 15 "
Fedora DROPPED ( YES DROPPED ) the "core" part of it's name FIVE YEARS AGO !!!
back in fedora 6

first off BEFORE you install vm on fedora 15

Fedora 15 is End of life
it is dead


install fedora 17
then in a few weeks fedora 18 when it comes out
