I have been foolish enough to upgrade my VMware server release (on FC5) and now

I am currently on 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 and the VMware I am trying to install is
VMware-server-1.0.3-44356 and any-any 113.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Is that the end of the log? Those warnings are not unusual, but (in
Workstation, at least) they are usually followed by messages about
success loading the vmmon module, then attempts to compile and load the
vmnet module. Your log has no indication of an actual error that stops
the build, but no indication of success either.
This was no log just output from stderr.
If the build really did succeed, then can you post the result of trying
to start the VM from a command line? Is there anything unusual in dmesg
or /var/log/messages about starting the service at boot?
There are no messages from command line launch. The VM just ends without any
message. I have come to believe that it is due to harware problems with the
partition in which the VM lives. I will proceed with this assumption by creating
a new VM in another partition and see if I can reinstall the OS there.
If it is correct what you say (I have no reason to believe otherwise) I should
soon be up and running.
Thanks for your information.
