I should clarify the problem further. vmware-config.pl runs fine until compiling of the vmxnet module. This is the error that appears: Building the vmxnet module. Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config18/vmxnet-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2895.fc6/build/include/..
