Update3: Get the new tutorial: VMware 6.0.3 in Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 kernel 2.6.24
I finally manage to install VMware(server, player or workstation) on my Gutsy(well I was trying since Friday).
1. Download the vmware-* from the vmware site(or another site that provide you vmware).
2. Download this patch script: http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update112.tar.gzhttp://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gzhttp://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz
http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz
3. Extract all those tar files.
4. Run the vmware installer:
sudo vmware-install.plDo all the default chooses, but not the compile modules option.
5. Run the patches scripts:
sudo ./runme.pl
6. Run the configuration script: sudo vmware-config.pl that should compile all the modules then select your preferred options.
And that's it, run vmware wherever ;)
Other problems:
If you are running the VM from a NTFS partition you need to hack the vm config file(*.vmx) and add this line:
mainmem.UseNamedFile = "FALSE"

Update:
Update2: A new version of the patches has been released so the patch is needed for newer kernels.
