Hi,
has anybody successfully installed vmware server on an FC6 machine?
During the compilation of the vmnet module a "linux/config.h" cannot be
found.
I know that this file was tagged as deprecated and has possibly been
removed in fc6. I am wondering though why nobody else has this problem!?

vmware-config.pl fails with this message:
