after 2 days of useless googling and thousands of sites browsed, I did not find the answer of the question: Is there any chance to install vmware-server ANY VERSION on Fedora 11?
Can someone answer this question? I've tried to install vmware server 1.04, 1.06, 1.09 and 2.0.1. I have tried the any any patch and I have all the software I need to have to run vmware server. It always returns the same error, just after I show where the header files of the kernel are. My kernel is 2.6.30. If you need any more information I shall post it.

"It always returns the same error, ..."
You couldn't be persuaded to tell us what that error was, could you? Is it a secret, like how to make an atom bomb? Is it embarrassing or libelous? Did your fingers get tired just as you were about to post it? Did it not occur to you that, in order for us to help you, we would need to know what the error was?
I knew I had forgotten something.... sorry for that.
Anyway the error(and the all configuration process) looks like
Code:
Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.
In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?
[/usr/share/icons]

.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]
In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel?

It appears that either you downloaded the wrong version of VMWare, or you don't have kernel headers installed on your system, or you have the wrong ones installed, or the VMWare install script cannot find them.
The error log tells you how to troubleshoot build problems and provides HTML links. Did you follow them?
I have the kernel-PAE-devel package installed(because my kernel is PAE)
The version of vmware is wrong for all fedoras, because vmware consider fedora as unsupported linux distribution.
The links are useless for my problem.
