Try running the patch script included in the Welhall package directly rather than unpacking the patch source. Just change the version number for WS and Player from 8.0.2 to 8.0.3. Looks like you have installed build-essential - that should do.
I followed the instructions but get the following error;
tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmnet-only/netif.c:134:7: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmnet-only/netif.c:134:7: warning: (near initialization for ‘vnetNetifOps.ndo_validate_addr’) [enabled by default]

Unable to install vmnet
I think I figured it out;
Btw. I am on Fedora 16 kernel 3.3.5-2
I copied vmnet.tar to /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ and not to /usr/lib/vmware/source as per the instructions and then executed => sudo /usr/bin/vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Voila! It is working, thanks for this Pavlinux!
Hi!
where can I find vmnet.tar?
thanks

I will try this definitely if you have gotten a guest (which one?) to run since I alfeady can install using TP wihout any paches. Or 8.0.2 with a patch. . I'm pretty sure 8.0.3 will be the same but I'm not going to upgrade. lll need to uninstall TP and then install 8.0.2 applying the patch. But I might not have the right hardware for Fedora. I don"'t know what that would be since every other OS I try works great with the TP onmy hardware .
Workstation 8.0.3 build-703055 (kernel 3.2) need a patch.
Search files:
patch-modules_3.3.4.sh
vmware3.3.4.patch
apply the patch and run this command:
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
The patch and script are here:
You don't need to run the module command. I believe it is included in the script.
Change 8.0.2 adn 4.0.2 at the top of the script to 8.0.3 and 4.0.3.

Hi!
Upgraded my Fedora 16 to 17 the other day, and ran into problems which led me to this page. Unfortunately the workstation will not compile.

This errors not from my source.tar.lzma;
1. wget http://pavlinux.ru/vmware/8.0.3/source.tar.lzma;
2. rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source;
3. tar -xf source.tar.lzma -C /usr/lib/vmware/modules;
OK, it works now.
Think the trick was to install the patch from
and modifying the script for 8.0.3 and 4.0.3
