I have been having all sorts of issues getting this distro installed. I have run the following commands:

yum update kernel, 
yum install gcc make binutils, 
yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel

My current kernel version is 3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64 I checked the header version and it was same.

I verified this by running uname -r followed by rpm -qa | grep kernel-

However, when I try to run /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl it is not able to detect the path to kernel header files. I've tried to manually enter /usr/src/kernels/3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64/include but this wasn't valid file path.

Any suggestions would be of great help as I am not finding any new information from browsing Google searches and forums.

this is not an issue with Fedora 18 or Kernel its vmware who haven't updated their "vmware tools" for new kernel versions

This failed for me on Player 4.0.6 / Fedora 18 Live installed to HD (make, gcc, kernel-headers etc updated to 3.8.3-203). The vmware-config-tools.pl proceeded but most of the modules failed to compile and the X.org server was also not detected. So not much use having the tools.
