Compiling from source? Or RPM install?
i've always has issues with Compiling from source on Fedora boxes, but
installing from RPM, and aplying the latest any-any patch always
worked. Granted the last time i installed VMWare on any Fedora machine
was with F9. But i don't think that the kernel modules built for
Fedora has changed that much. I know the kernel has been upgraded, but
the build environment stays similar
