Hi,

has anybody successfully installed vmware server on an FC6 machine?

During the compilation of the vmnet module a "linux/config.h" cannot be 
found.

I know that this file was tagged as deprecated and has possibly been 
removed in fc6. I am wondering though why nobody else has this problem!?

p.s.
vmware-config.pl fails with this message:
