It looks like Red Hat linux folks have made an incompatible change in the kernel.  I've attached a patch to this post which should fix the issue.  To apply the patch, you'll need to:

• Quit Workstation.
• Back up /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar to a safe place.
• Unpack that tarfile.
• Download the patch attached to this post (VMware-Workstation-12.5.7-vmnet-RHEL74.patch).
• Apply the patch to the contents of the tarfile.
• Repack the tarfile
• Put the modified tarfile back in place at /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar .
• Rebuild the modules.
• Launch Workstation.

 

It'll look something like this:

 

   mkdir ~/vmnet-fix

   cd ~/vmnet-fix

   cp /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar ./vmnet-12.5.7.tar

   tar xf vmnet-12.5.7.tar

   patch -p0 <~/Downloads/VMware-Workstation-12.5.7-vmnet-RHEL74.patch

   tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/

   sudo cp vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar

   sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

 

如以上出错,试下以下:
# rm -rf /etc/vmware*
#rm -rf /usr/bin/vm*

netif.c:468:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘netif_trans_update’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

调整这段代码即可。
