On running vmware-config.pl I am getting the following error message at the end of the compilation (before it is aborted) ....
Similar error is found while installing vmware server and player (free versions).
This problem has started since I have updated my kernel-smp to last few versions. Latest version is 2.6.20-1.2300.fc5smp. I have appropriate devel package installed.
Any help/suggestion will be highly appreciated.
