I am having a problem installing VMware Tools in a Fedora-9 VM that I
created using the latest version of Workstation-6. I keep getting the
error message: "The directory of kernel headers (@@VMWARE@@ UTS RELEASE)
does not match your running kernel version (2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64)" when
it tries to patch the kernel. I have installed several previous version
of Fedora on VMware and never encountered a problem like this.
I checked that
fedora-9-x86_64-DVD/Packages/kernel-headers-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64rpm file
using "rpm -qpl" was what was installed at "/usr/include". I even made a
link under "/usr/src/linux/include" to match the directory structure
that VMware Tools was expecting, but got the same result.
I have seen several messages asking for assistance with Fedora-9
installed with VMware, so it would appear that others have been able to
do it successfully. It is quite possible that I have made some
unintentional mistake somewhere that I am unable to find.
Unfortunately, VMware does not support Fedora because it considers it to
be too experimental and unstable, which is probably accurate, especially
for version 9, so I cannot ask there. If anyone in Fedora-Land has had a
similar experience or has any ideas about how to solve this problem, let
me know.
You need to run vmware-config.pl (as root). If that doesn't work, Google
for vmware-any-any-update117.tar.gz (or anything later than 117),
download, untar and run the runme.pl script (again as root).

As far as I can determine, this is a patch to the Workstation program
running on a Linux host and not the Fedora Guest . I am running with a
Windows host for which this patch is not applicable. Please tell me if
this is incorrect.
