vmware-server is only "supported" for RHEL and the like.  Fedora is too
bleeding edge for them, so their kernel compatibility is behind.

You will have to rely on finding the appropriate patches, and applying
them so that vmware-config.pl builds on your kernel.

I recently updated to VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64 (had been
running 2.0.1) and I had to find a new set of patches to get running
again on F11.  I found them, and a script to apply them (nice!).
While it still leaves me with compilation warnings, it *does* compile
and run for me on kernel-2.6.30.9-96.fc11.x86_64.
