VM Workstation 7.1 on 2.6.35 kernel Error

[bbailey1808]

I am trying to install VM Workstation 7.1 on Fedora 14 with the 2.6.35 kernel.

When I run command vmware-modconfig --console --install-all the output is

I have been trying to get a virtual machine manager working for days and I am at my wits end. I have tried googling /usr/src/kernels/2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64/scripts/recordmcount.pl but to no avail. Your help is greatly appreciated in solving this strenuous problem!

FC14 is latest bleading edge OS. It may well be that this version of VMware doesn't play well with it yet... Check on VMware web site to see what version (if any) will work with FC14. Remember, the 2.6.35 kernel is about as young as you'll find in the wild these days.
