Description Dmitrij Rebrov 2011-11-03 14:56:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
I trying to start working vmware workstation 8 on fedora 16. After installation it asked for gcc, so i installed it. But after that it asked for kernel-headers-3.1.0-5. I already installed it but there is no help.
Also i tried all directories in 
/usr/include - same result (vmware didn't found any C kernel header matching for it)
vmware looking for headers in /usr/src directory but it is empty

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vmware 8
kernel-headers-3.1.0-5.fc16.i686

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install vmware workstation or player
2. run vmware player or workstation
3.
  
Actual results:
all should go smoothly

Expected results:
asks for already installed kernel headers

You didn't really say what header file it's looking for, and really this is probably an issue with vmware, not the kernel.

Unless you have some kind of error that winds up being something caused by the kernel package, I would suggest you take the issue up with VMWare
