			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After an upgrade to Fedora 10, VMware Workstation 6.5.0 would not run.  The kernel modules, as expected, needed to be compiled, but the only one that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">would not compile</span> was the <strong>vmmon</strong> kernel module.</p>
<p>Attempting to run vmware-modconfig resulted in a segfault, and attempting to compile the modules manually (as suggested in one of the vmware community forums) resulted in compile time errors:</p>
<blockquote><p>#&gt; make<br />
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.<br />
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27.5-101.fc10.x86_64/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules<br />
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.5-101.fc10.x86_64&#8242;<br />
CC [M]  /root/vmware-modules/vmmon-only/common/vmciContext.o<br />
In file included from /root/vmware-modules/vmmon-only/common/vmciContext.c:23:<br />
/root/vmware-modules/vmmon-only/common/vmciSharedMem.h:28: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘&#8230;’ before ‘VMCISharedMemInfo’<br />
make[2]: *** [/root/vmware-modules/vmmon-only/common/vmciContext.o] Error 1<br />
make[1]: *** [_module_/root/vmware-modules/vmmon-only] Error 2<br />
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.5-101.fc10.x86_64&#8242;<br />
make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2</p></blockquote>
<p>After much digging, the end solution turned out to be VERY simple:</p>
<blockquote><p>mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.old</p>
<p>vmware-modconfig &#8211;console &#8211;install-all</p></blockquote>
<p>The modules happily built and all was well with the world. <img src='http://geekdom.wesmo.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
