This is exactly the symptoms I've seen with older versions of Workstation on recent FC kernels. It can't find the includes because older versions of VMware are looking for something in the includes that's no longer where it expects it. Even if it found it, I strongly suspect that those older versions are going to be very broken, if they were to compile at all. > Is this the same or different problem? One of those threads was on VMware Server. You may have a different (well known) problem, simply because of the version of VMware Workstation. 5.5.1 and their new Beta should be fine. Anything prior to that - You pays your nickel and you takes your chance. > don > Paul Smith wrote: > > On 10/29/06, don fisher <dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Has anybody else had a problem building vmware workstation?
