I used the vmware-any-any-update101 script and got the vmmon for VMware workstation 5.5 to build for my kernel (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5) this way.

However, when I run vmware, either via command line or from the menu, the process just stops after a few seconds. No error message, no console window appearing, nothing.

VMware worked fine for me in FC4, and as soon as I upgraded to FC5 it wouldn't run since the vmmon needed to be rebuilt. I thought this patch script here was the answer, but now I'm stuck again. It's the same outcome for VMware player on my system too.

Anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas?
