Vmware blocking file system fails to compile

[marinestu]

Hello All

I am running Fedoa 16 with I have not used vmware for a while and there has been several kernel updates since I last used it. I am now getting an error when I try to compile the modules for the "VMware Blocking File System"

I have had a google and although there does seem to be some patches there is not really any good instructions as to what I need to do.

Please gents if you have any advice I would be extremely grateful.

VMWare Workstation is at 8.0.2, kernel is 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64.

Cheers guys

Stu

Hello

Thanks fro getting back to me. That was one of the links that I saw but it did not seem to work.

Here is what I done.

1. Extracted the donloaded file
2. Run the script
3. Restarted vmware and still got the same error. (Please see the below)

Thanks
