yes, that /ib/modues .... works too,
but in my fc5 build is a link to the /usr/src... i originally quoted

And it still is. My point was that vmware-config.pl should find
the /lib/modules/... link automatically if the right kernel-devel is
installed.

Matthew:
I finally get your point, thanks much.
My expeience with vmplayer and the vmware-config.pl is quite llimited.
I last ran this stuff in Oct 2006, altho i did manage to muddle thru it
and get
a working VM, which i still use.
My notes from that time show me that i tried the kernel-devel yuminstall
but it gave me .2187 not my then (and current) kernel.2174
so i had to remove the -devel.2187 and reinstall the -devel.2174
and then i was able to muddle thru the vmware-config.pl
but it did not find that include dir automatically. Most likely bc of those
confused yuminstall steps.
Any way thanks for clearing up the proper procedure for me.
The OP's experience sounded exactly like mine, so i thot he could
also 'muddle thru' it, doing something like i did.
I havent seen any more responses from the OP.
Jack
