I had troubles installing VMware Tools 9 (VMware workstation) on Fedora 18.
The VMware tools installer was complaining that the kernel-headers path was "", and I could not continue. However, I had installed the proper kernel headers and met the other VMware tools prerequisites.
Anyhow I found this link that helped:

In summary the fix involves copying the version.h file to another location. As I'm using kernel 3.7.2-204.fc18.i686.PAE this was the fix for me:
Credit for this fix goes to user nrivoli over at the VMware Communities forum. :)
