Mageia Linux 4 module compile problems

I have installed VMplayer under Mageia 4 x86_64 but the modules will not compile,

This is the tail of the compilation process.

compilation terminated.

scripts/Makefile.build:308: recipe for target '/tmp/modconfig-6y8o9N/vmci-only/linux/driver.o' failed

make[2]: *** [/tmp/modconfig-6y8o9N/vmci-only/linux/driver.o] Error 1

Makefile:1228: recipe for target '_module_/tmp/modconfig-6y8o9N/vmci-only' failed

make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/modconfig-6y8o9N/vmci-only] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernel-3.12.20-server-1.mga4'

Makefile:130: recipe for target 'vmci.ko' failed

make: *** [vmci.ko] Error 2

make: Leaving directory '/tmp/modconfig-6y8o9N/vmci-only'

Failed to build vmci.  Failed to execute the build command.

Starting vmware (via systemctl):  Job for vmware.service failed. See 'systemctl status vmware.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

                                                                [FAILED]

                                                       

The only aid from the log file is this:                                   

libcurl.so.4 has version 7.34.0 (need 7.19.5) and has not been compiled with c-ares support.

What can I do about it?

Mageia is not a supported Host OS! Smiley Wink

Well, I guess that should be more widely known. Thank you.
