i just download he fedora 11 preview and vmware 6.5, but when i installed vmware in the fedora, it always failed whatever vmware is workstation or server.
the error is here:
[snowind@xfsnowind yum.repos.d]$ sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server 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? [/lib/modules/2.6.29.2-126.fc11.i686.PAE/build/include]

this is my first to send email to the fedora mail list, i just suspend somebody would receive my email, so if somebody receive it, please reply to me to give me the members in the list have received it even you also don't know how to solve this problem.
Thanks.
