Have a look here:

Workstation 10.0.3 will not install in Centos 7

I just did this, from that discussion:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using RHEL 7 and have the same problem. For version 10.0.3 i make next steps:

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
tar -xvf vmnet.tar
cd vmnet-only
vi filter.c
on line 205 and 235 replace sting

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 13, 0)

on

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 0, 0)

6. cd ..

7. tar -uvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

8. rm -fr vmnet-only

After this steps i have all working.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worked here on CentOS 7.0

I've tried all the patches and googles to fix 10.02 and 10.03. PATCHES DO NOT WORK!

All patches say 2/3 chunks succeed. 1 failed. Which is enough to stop compile.

Workstation 10.03 will not install on

RHEL 7 x64 (Kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64),

BUT 10.02 will. Here's how with ONLY 2 changes:

1. Install the 10.02 bundle ( [localhost]# ./<bundlename.bundle )

2. install succeeds

2. [localhost]# vmware

3. compile fails.

4. [localhost]# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

5. [localhost]# tar -xvf vmnet.tar

6. [localhost]# nano vmnet-only/filter.c

7. scroll down to about line 206 and change:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 13, 0)

so version looks like this:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 0, 0)

8. scroll down to about line 259 and change:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 13, 0)

so version looks like this:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 0, 0)

9. now save and overwrite updated filter.c file and then re-tar with

10 [localhost]# tar -uvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only

11. [localhost]# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

12. [localhost]# vmware

VMWare Workstation 10.02 should start right up and be ready for service.

NOTE: Run #12 from an X session console.

All

RHEL 7.0 install vmware workstation 10.0.3 failed
