My upgrade to FC2 was not exactly an upgrade. I installed FC2 into a new partition and then copied over the /home partition. Re-installed the VMWare rpm and ran vmware-config.pl - and things worked fine. When I upgraded my FC2 kernel (427) for the first time yesterday and tried to re-run vmware-config.pl I got the compile problems. Went to the vmware site and downloaded the 4.5.2 (8848) rpm and went from there. Some of the reading I have done on the VMWare message boards seem to always point to that vmware-any-any-update##.tar.gz that seems to solve most folks problems. HTH, --Rob
