VMware-server-1.0.3-44356 does not work

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

When running "vmware-config.pl" on FC6 with the kernel 2.6.20-1.2948,
I get the errors below.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2948.fc6/build/include]
