FC5 + vmware = unable to compile vmmon

[viper8]

I have VmwarePlayer installed.

Running vmware-config.pl, trying to compile the vmmon module I get the following:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-i686/include/

The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.

I have kernel-devel (kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5) installed...any ideas?

EDIT: I just found this: http://www.vmware.com/community/thre...31877&tstart=0
AND IT WORKED...change the following in your /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl:

- $header_page_offset =~ s/^$pattern \(?0x([0-9a-fA-F]{8,}).*$/$1/;
- if ($header_page_offset =~ /[0-9a-fA-F]{8,}/) {
+ if ($header_page_offset =~ /^$pattern \(\?0x([0-9a-fA-F]{8,})/) {
+ $header_page_offset = $1;

Remove (-) the first two lines and add (+) the last 2 lines and it'll compile then.

This might be useful too (for FC5)

I found the "vmware-any-any-update98.tar.gz" worked a treat on FC5, it even detected where the headers were.
