I'm running FC2T3 (kernel 358) and tried to install vmware 4.51 workstation. Did anyone succeed running this combination?
While trying to compile the kernel modules some error messages came up here: vmware...../driver.c (131): Warning: Initialising incompatible type of pointer vmware...../driver.c (135): Warning: Initialising incompatible type of pointer
and some others, resulting in an unknown symbol and compilation aborted.
On google I found vmware-any-any-update67, but no hint how to install it. And it seems to be for the i386 arch.
Any help appreciated.

Unpack the archive and run runme.pl. I'd do something like:
# tar zxvf vmware-any-any-update67.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src # cd /usr/local/src/vmware-any-any-update67 # ./runme.pl
Any help appreciated.
OK,

Sorry for my late answer but I couldn't spent any time to VMware during past days.
I followed your advice and I could compile and install VMware. But when I start it, there is a message "This version of the Linux Kernel is newer than the newest series with which VMware is supported. It may not work. ...continue?"
Well, if I continue the machine crashes totally, only a hard reset helps. OK, there was a thread about this problem once ago. I'll search the archives.
Thanks for your advice.
