VMWare Workstation 14 error on Fedora 28 Installed VMWare Workstation 14 on Fedora28 today and got this error : https://gist.github.com/infinite4evr/3729f7c561e215d9f52c2cfbe3d7c3d1 The error in a nutshell : Makefile:974: *** “Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel”. Stop. And when you run Vmware it shows like this : Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel CANCEL / INSTALL This gotta suck and it took me some time to figure things out. Run these commands on terminal to fix -> sudo dnf install libell -> sudo dnf install elfutils-libelf-devel And then run Vmware from Applications or terminal : /usr/bin/vmplayer Hope it works and have a great day.
