Fedora 19 with kernel 3.10 fail to install vmplayer module.

If you are having problem start up vmware player on Fedora 19 after upgrade kernel to 3.10, here is the solution. Basically it is due to the procfs interface and vmnet not able to compiles. First download the procfs patch from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/446113?start=0&tstart=0 .If you don't have time to read the forum, here is the link of the procfs patch. Or you can use the following command: # tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar # cd vmnet-only # wget  http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2239207-108590/procfs.patch # patch -p1 < procfs.patch # cd .. # tar -cvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/ # cp vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ This will patch the procfs interface. Secondly download the vmnet patch from http://mysticalzero.blogspot.com/2013/07/vmblock-patch-for-linux-310-vmware.html . The link of the patch is here . Or you can use the following command: # tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmblock.tar

VMware Tools Cannot Find Kernel-Headers on Fedora 18 x64

After you upgrade to Fedora 18, whenever you try to install vmware tool, you will receive the following error. Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 kernel headers. Would you like to change it? [yes] I believe you already got kernel header, so all you need is to link the header file by using the following command ln /usr/src/kernels/ 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 /include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /lib/modules/ 3.7.4-204.fc18.x86_64 /build/include/linux/ Launch the vmware-config-tool.pl again, the error will gone. ---
