Hi Foks. I.m trying to install VMware to run windoz and my windows
games. When comiling I get this message:-
I have VMware server running on FC6, though one kernel package release
behind (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6). Something to check is that you're not
being bitten by the kernel 1586/1686 mismatch caused by a bug in the
installer[1].
(I don't play any games, but I've heard a few folks I know say that
that the graphics in VMware weren't fast enough for their liking.)

It seems that it was the i586/686 bug that bit me. I have corrected it
and I have now got it to go a bit further in to the compile, but have
hit anouther snag. This is the error message:

As far as i know it's the simplest steps to get fedora to compile
vmware-server, thanks Mark, and definitely works on FC6.
