I am attempting to install VMWare Player but can't discover what I am missing. I have gotten through the gcc install, make install, etc but hit the brick wall when I get to the VMWare Kernel module updater. I googled the problem and did see some references to Debian with a workaround of "Use another supported OS". Well, CentOS7 is definitely supported but I don't see what the problem is.
I did install kernel-devel, gcc, kernel-3.10.0-514.el7.src.rpm, linux-headers-3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 (after a dpkg-query -s linux-headers-$(uname -r). To open a support case with VMWare I guess I have to solve this on my own because I have not gotten far enough to register for the 30 day email complimentary support.
Oddly enough I did have this running on a Debian box but switched to CentOS due to some video driver issues
Any ideas?
