VMware Workstation 14 on Fedora 27 kernel 4.15

Hi,

vmmon and vmnet fail to compile on Fedora kernel 4.15.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software to no avail.

Anyone have a solution for this yet?

Thanks,

Would you plese try to install elfutils-libelf-devel by command "sudo dnf install elfutils-libelf-devel"? Then uninstall WS and re-install it to see if that solved your problem
