VMware在Fedora7下安装之后，配置会发生失败的情况，如果你的情况和作者类似，请看看这篇文章；
下载安装的RPM包----VMware-workstation-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm；
安装运行下面命令安装----
#rpm -ivh VMware-workstation-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm
配置安装成功后，进行配置，运行：
#vmware-config.pl
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

配置出现错误，我这里给出补丁包，去下面
http://download.csdn.net/source/219357
下载
vmmon.tar
用这个tar替换掉/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar文件即可； 运行#vmware-config.pl可配置成功了！ 此补丁包在Fedora 7RC2下运行通过；估计Fedora 7 and 6也没问题。
