On my F12 laptop, the default is:

I believe that you need to have the appropriate kernel-headers RPM
installed for the kernel you are building for.  In my case, its

Install the correct kernel-headers package for your kernel.

Question:  Have you gotten VMWare-server to build?  I have not yet
gotten it to build for me on F12.  The last I had is working on was F11
(though admittedly, I haven't yet spent the same amount of time on it
that I did when I got it working on F11).  There are necessary patches
to make it work with 2.6.31 kernels (F12), and F13 Beta has a 2.6.32
kernel....
