Hi all;
FC6 got a new kernel this morning and running vmware-config.pl results in a failure when attempting to build the vmmod module. Here is the relevant output:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2925.fc6/build/include
Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.

Any ideas on what's going wrong and how to fix it?
