Getting VMWare 9 to compile in fc18
After updating to Fedora 18, VMWare 9.0.1 will not compile because it cannot find the correct version.h file. Simple fix is to create a symlink and vmware will compile the needed modules.
First make sure that the compiler and header packages are installed.
yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers
The following command will create the link.
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/include/linux/version.h
