1. Download and extract the VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175 non-RPM
version.
2. Once extracted, run the script from the "vmware-distrib"
directory called "vmware-install.pl", take the defaults. Do not
auto-run "vmware-config.pl". If you do, CTRL-C out of it to exit
it completely.
3. Make sure you have the linux-headers package installed for you
current linux-image. IOW, if you have linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 as
you current kernel, you will need linux-headers-2.6.18-4-k7
(which will pull in linux-headers-2.6.18-4 as it depends on it).
Another helpful package is "kernel-package". That package makes
sure you have everything you need to build kernel modules.
4. Download and extract the latest "vmware-any-any-update" from
http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/
5. As of this e-mail, vmware-any-any-update108 is current. From the
"vmware-any-any-update108" directory execute (run) the
"runme.pl". It should find you "installation of 5.5.1" and will
patch it. It should also ask "run vmware-config.pl" answer yes.
Take the defaults.
6. If running GNOME, use ALT-F2 and type in "vmware" and press
enter.
You are running vmware.
