After installing VMware Player 3.0 (3.0.1-227600.i386) for Linux in Fedora 12, I get an error when the program is executed, stating: <br />
<br />
&quot;Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.&quot;<br />
<br />
The error displays &quot;Cancel&quot; or &quot;_Install&quot;, with both options having no effect.<br />
<br />
The kernel is 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686. All of the GCC and GCC C++ packages are installed, as well as the header files that VMware required.<br />
<br />
What is the fix for this? Is there a patch for this issue?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

VMware Player 3.0 for Linux in Fedora 12 Installation Issue

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
