VMware Server 1.06 on Fedora 8 x86_64

[Gene Poole]

Since we couldn't get past the text issues going from Linux to Windows, 
here is the complete and corrected message list when attempting to install 
VMware Server 1.06 onto a running Fedora 8 x86_64 machine:


Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons?
[/usr/share/icons]

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a
.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?
[/usr/share/pixmaps]

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.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your 
running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.25.11-60.fc8/build/include]

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.

Do you want networking for your virtual machines? (yes/no/help) [yes]

Configuring a bridged network for vmnet0.

Your computer has multiple ethernet network interfaces available: eth0, 
eth1.
Which one do you want to bridge to vmnet0? [eth0] eth1

The following bridged networks have been defined:

. vmnet0 is bridged to eth1

Do you wish to configure another bridged network? (yes/no) [no]

Do you want to be able to use NAT networking in your virtual machines? 
(yes/no) [yes]

Configuring a NAT network for vmnet8.

Do you want this program to probe for an unused private subnet? 
(yes/no/help) [yes]

Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time)...

The subnet 192.168.104.0/255.255.255.0 appears to be unused.

The following NAT networks have been defined:

. vmnet8 is a NAT network on private subnet 192.168.104.0.

Do you wish to configure another NAT network? (yes/no) [no] 

Do you want to be able to use host-only networking in your virtual 
machines? [yes]

Configuring a host-only network for vmnet1.

Do you want this program to probe for an unused private subnet? 
(yes/no/help) [yes]

Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time)...

The subnet 172.16.15.0/255.255.255.0 appears to be unused.

The following host-only networks have been defined:

. vmnet1 is a host-only network on private subnet 172.16.15.0.

Do you wish to configure another host-only network? (yes/no) [no]

If you notice the lines starting with 'Building the vmnet module.', this 
is where the failure starts.
