Sorry to hear. The kernel-headers are mandatory, so you will have to
wait for them or use another distribution which have them availlable.
Thanks to mkubecek , VM Workstation is running well with all kernels
6.6 and 6.7.

Hello all.

Does anyone have VMware Workstation Pro 17.5.0 running with any of the
later 6.6.X kernels?

I'm having a hard time getting it to run with a Fedora 38
installation.  I'm fully updated as of 2 days ago, including the 6.6.9
kernel.  When I try to start Workstation directly after VMware
installation I get a popup saying that the kernel-headers package for
kernel-6.6.9 is missing and so it can't build some modules. the problem
is that
the kernel-headers package for 6.6.9 is missing from Updates. The
latest package is
for 6.6.3.

I'm guessing those modules are vmmon and vmnet, which usually have to
be rebuilt for
new kernels and so I also tried build the modules following the
instructions here:

 
https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/blob/workstation-17.5.0/INSTALL

but it failed also and I don't know how to debug the problems.

Would appreciate any help!
