That is the one I have got:

VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386

And I cannot have it working on F9.

So I was wrong then with my assumption.
In this case, the latest vmware-any-any-update may help
(vmware-any-any-update117d.tar.gz from
http://groups.google.com/group/vmkernelnewbies/files ?)

Good luck & best Regards,

I have that installed. The issue is that vmware-config.pl worked under
the prior kernel and failed today.  Something must have changed in the
kernel headers that breaks vmware's compile.

For german speaking fedora users:
http://www.fedorawiki.de/index.php/VMware_Server (no patch, but a
modified vmware-any-any-update117:
http://www.it-psycho.de/downloads/vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho.tar.b
z2)

The any-any-update file suggested by Joachim solves the problem, in my
case.

i have installed vmware-any-any-update117d.tar.gz
to install now vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho.tar.bz2

i have to issue

rpm -e VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386 VMware-server-console-1.0.7-108231.i386

then reissue rpm -ivh VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386 Vware-server-console-1.0.7-108231.i386

then apply the patch. i suppose, isn't it?

m

No.

I installed vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho.tar.bz2 ***without***installing vmware-any-any-update117d.tar.gz (and **without** the patchfiles belongig to the ...d version) so VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.i386now runs flawless.
