Anyone managed to compile the latest VMwareTools on latest VMware workstation?<br>It worked fine on FC5, but now I get compiler errors with kernel-2.6.17-1.2586.fc6.<br>(It has failed on all FC6T2 not just the latest kernel...)
<br>Any ideas?<br><br>-----<br>[root@localhost ~]# ./vmware-config-tools.pl<br>....<br>What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running<br>kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.17-1.2586.fc6/build/include]
