Before you can run vmware several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel

I have just installed VMware-Workstation 7.1.4 on fedora 15 x86_64 and when I was starting VMware, I get a message window with content similar "before you can run vmware several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel" ...

=>FIX:
Find your kernel:
[dthoan@dthoan ~]$ sudo find / -name kernel
[sudo] password for dthoan:
/selinux/initial_contexts/kernel
/proc/sys/kernel
find: `/home/dthoan/.gvfs': Permission denied
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64/kernel
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kernel
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64/kernel/kernel
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64/kernel
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/kernel
/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64/kernel/kernel
/sys/kernel
/sys/module/kernel
/usr/lib64/pm-utils/module.d/kernel
/usr/share/selinux/devel/include/kernel

-> So: Browse to "/lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64/build/include/linux/" the VMware-Workstation will loaded correctly kernel-headers if you have installed...
Please replace "2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64" with your "$uname -r"
It's done, good luck to u :) fun
