Re: VMWare Workstation and Fedora 9?

Has anybody successfully configured VMWare Workstation (my version:

fresh install of Fedora 9. I then install the VMware-workstation
package and run vmware-config.pl.
[ snip ]
I've applied the any-any update (117 -- latest I could find).

As a final follow up, so that the list archives contain the info, the
any-any patch was actually detrimental to this process. After
successfully running the config script, VMWare complained about a
mismatched vmmon version. I reinstalled the workstation rpm and reran
the vmware-config.pl script without applying the any-any patch and
VMWare is now running my VMs. (The only thing that didn't compile
correctly was vmblock, which I'm sure a future any-any patch will deal
with.)

This data corresponds to:
kernel version 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64
vmware version 6.04 x86_64
