The prompt is that VMware cannot find the corresponding system kernel's Kelnel Headers, so you can give it a path.

Because my machine is directly installed with live CD, there is no 2.6.38.8-32 in/usr/src/kernels. fc15.x86 _ 64 directory, www.linuxidc.com, of course, cannot find the path.

The simplest solution is:

Sudo yum install kernel-devel

A command installs the Kernel header file Kernel Headers corresponding to the local Fedora version. The file size is about 6 MB. After the installation is complete, a directory/usr/src/kernels/2.6.38.8-32. fc15.x86 _ 64 is added to the system. The directory contains the Kernel Headers required by VMware7.1.4 build-385536.

The corresponding versions are listed as follows:

Fedora Linux 15, kernel 2.6.38.8-32. fc15.x86 _ 64
