I get the following error when running vmware-config.pl: «make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.13-1.1526_FC4-i686' cp -f vmnet.ko ./../vmnet.o make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet-only' Unable to make a vmnet module that can be loaded in the running kernel: insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet.o': -1 Unknown symbol in module There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
