Anyone else trying to get VMWare Workstation to install and run under Fedora
13 x86_64?

The first time I try to run VMWare (as root or as a user), it wants to
compile their modules (normal).  At the command line it dies with this:
[root at titan2 ~]# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
gcc and kernel headers must be installed

I've installed and removed/re-installed the gcc and kernel-headers a couple
times and still get the same error.
[root at titan2 ~]# rpm -qa | egrep 'headers|gcc'
gcc-4.4.4-2.fc13.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.12-1.x86_64
libgcc-4.4.4-2.fc13.x86_64
kernel-headers-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64

All my Googling and searching the VMWare forums hasn't produced anything.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Dan
