Lawrence,
You know, now that I think about it, I used to run VMWare Player in Fedora. I
always had trouble getting it to compile. I found a thread somewhere that
provided a way of modifying a config file so that it thought the version of
Fedora it was running on was an older version, or something along those lines.
I got it to work for a little while, but updating always seemed to break it.
It has to do with the the kernel updates, which tend to cause VMWare Player and
Workstation not to be able to compile on launch.
Honestly (and this is probably not the place to say this!) I would suggest not
running VMWare Workstaiton inside Fedora. Peronally, I’m running Fedora VM’s
in ESXi. It’s free, but a separate piece of hardware will require an
investment.
Hope this helps!

I snipped the original message to only include the pertinent bits ;)
I ran into this issue this evening, and it took me a while to get it
sorted out. It turns out the problem isn't with Kernel 3.13 per se, but
with the netfilter hooks compiled into it. My first forays out into the
world wild web this afternoon to solve it were less than productive. but
I finally found the complete, full answer over on the Arch Wiki,
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware
That page goes into much more detail than what we need, so here's the
cut and paste of the important part:
sudo su -
curl http://pastie.org/pastes/8672356/download -o
/tmp/vmware-netfilter.patch
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
tar -xvf vmnet.tar
patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmware-netfilter.patch
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
rm -r vmnet-only
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
That little snippit above will solve the VMware module compilation
errors on F20 with a 3.13 kernel.
