Actually, in this case, the kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages are
installed. Further, this appears to only happen with the 3.7 series of
the kernel.

I know this because I was having the same problem and, because I need
VMware Workstation for my work (some things needed for my job require
Windows - arrgh!!!), I had to roll back to the 3.6 kernel. Currently, I
can confirm that VMware Workstation 9.0.1 is working with kernel version
3.6.11-3.fc18.x86_64 - and is working with that kernel unmodified (no
patches from VMware needed).

Now, I don't recall the exact error message with kernel 3.7 because I
reverted back to the 3.6 series (via yum distro-sync), but VMware
Workstation 9.0.1 clearly is having trouble finding the kernel headers
and other associated components with the 3.7 series of the kernel that
is in the updates-testing repository.

Aren't you just experiencing that broken vmware scripts which cant find the relocated version.h in the 3.7 series kernels ?

And that's simply solved by running "ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.7-X/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.7-X/include/linux/version.h"
