Execution aborted.
In the end I have got it to run using the following....hopefully it will help anyone else out there having the same issues....

I have the following: 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 and am installing the following: Vmware server 1.0.7 or 2.0 works also!

download this from:

http://www.it-psycho.de/downloads/vm...psycho.tar.bz2 [1]

cd to the download folder and run ./runme.pl

[root@localhost [2] vmware-any-any-update117-itpsycho]# ./runme.pl
Updating /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl ... already patched
Updating /usr/bin/vmware ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/bin/vmnet-bridge ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin-debug/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.

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 Server are stopped.

Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]

Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

now it works :-)
