Vmware Player 6 on Fedora 20 Host - Virtual network Device fails
I have a Fedora 20 system on which I installed vmware player 6. When I run vmware I get a notice that modules need to be installed. After entering the root password it fails on Virtual Network Device.
This seems to be the right information in the logs, but I am still unsure of what is needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue here is not running Fedora inside VMware player as guest OS.
Its about installing VMware player on a Fedora Machine as a Host OS.

@Abhilash Hb - doesn't really matter for the error that savone is getting - the build command itself (gcc/make) is failing.

Thanks for the input everybody, unfortunately I am unable to get it to work with the 3.13 kernel and no patches have been released yet.

Which distribution did you download and what are your network settings in VMware?
Do you have gcc installed in Fedora? Can you try this:
/usr/bin/gcc
If you don't have gcc, try installing it like this:
#yum install gcc
If you are missing 'make' as well, try installing it as well:
#yum install make
