please look at this article
taken from : http://howtoforge.com/vmware-server-on-ubuntu8.04
Needed if upgrading VMware installation:
sudo ./vmware-install.pl
VMware wont compile with the new kernel, use this patch:
wget
http://vmkernelnewbies.googlegroups.com/web/vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
tar -zxf vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
cd vmware-any-any-update-116
Apply the patch:
sudo ./runme.pl
sudo vmware-config.pl
VMware console wont run without this:
cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
You might need gcc3.4 as well.
Enjoy!
