Trying to install VMWare on my fedora core setup andf i get this far before i cant go further:





Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it

for your running kernel by invoking the following command:

"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the command for

you now? [yes]



Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.



Stopping VMware services:

Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]



Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.



***

* Updating MIME database in /usr/share/mime...

***

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?

[/usr/share/icons]



In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?

[/usr/share/pixmaps]



Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.



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? [/usr/src/linux/include]





Now i've pointed it to my /usr/src/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build/include and i know the directory build is there but i cant get into it.

did you try the recommended...?

Yes,i've hit the VMWARE board, Redhat, Fedora and several others. Only thing i can think of is that i dont have the kernel source installed, just a theory but i dont know enuff linux to say for sure.
