With VMwareWorkstation-5.5.3-34685 and running the 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 I cannot rebuild the modules after applying the manual fixes (above) and trying a fresh install of vmware and applying the any-any patch. </blockquote></div> I had the same problem on FC6. Check out <a href="http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=35020&forum=10&post_id=156401">http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=35020&forum=10&post_id=156401</a> and then run the script in <a href="http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update108.tar.gz">http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update108.tar.gz</a> and download and install the new version of VMWare server, 1.0.2. That worked for me. Gerry
