With Fedora 11 being so new and using a newer Linux kernel, the VMware tools don't compile so can't be directly used in an F11 VM. I can get around to porting them myself, but has anyone else run into this and fixed it yet?

Yes, use Xen or KVM.
However if you must use vmware ESX,ESXi or Vfail; consider checking out

Try using open-vm-tools from RPM Fusion repository:
yum install open-vm-tools

There is a patch available for vmware for Fedora11

I should also note that for me, the patch got it to build, but once I exited from a VM, I could no longer start VMs until I rebooted. Wound up going back to F10 for now. (This may have been fixed in the past month though.) – retracile Aug 12 '09 at 14:20
