After upgrading my kernel modules on a Fedora Core Linux system and booting into the new Kernel, 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6, I'm unable to re-compile the vmware workstation.
Kernel 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6, works.
Here's the error I get;
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? \[yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel?

Pointers to the solution would be appreciated.
