No, I'm not sure the patch is needed, I was following this: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=152tag=nl.e101 and have installed build-essentials and xinetd. Most googling suggests the any-any patch is the answer to all problems. Last time I installed vmware-server on feisty it was

I don't think automatix updates things for the new kernels. I used it under Edgy and it broke under Feisty, if I remember correctly it didn't install everything needed to update for new kernels and you might as well wait until the gutsy partner repository gets a gutsy version of vmware-server as

Are you sure you need the any to any patch? I've just installed vmware-server 1.04 on gutsy 32 bit. The patch was NOT required. All it required was build-essential and xinetd. I understand that 64 bit host used to be difficult, but latest reports seem to indicate it all works as for 32 bit.
