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?

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.

Your question is for VMware support, not for Fedora or Fedora Live CD.

It is easier to use qemu-kvm (with command-line interface) or virt-manager
(with GUI interface) for virtualization.

Please direct questions about development versions of Fedora to
fedora-test list. This list is primarily about questions on the
livecd-tools themselves.
