Hi David,
make sure gcc is installed.
if you've got an old version, uninstall it first.
I run rpm -i VMware-server-1.0.1-29996.i386.rpm (or whatever version)
after you've installed run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
do you get that far?

I'm getting some conflicts (?) with the feisty vmware package:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ uname -a
Linux test 2.6.20-15-386 #2 Sun Apr 15 07:34:00 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ sudo apt-get install vmware-server
The following NEW packages will be installed
vmware-server vmware-server-kernel-modules
vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-16
VMware installs, configures, but fails to power up.
vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-15 is in the repository but I have
no idea how to get apt-get to install it appropriately.
I tried installing from tar, but the installer asks for
linux-headers-386 but isn't happy with
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-386/
Are they the same thing? should I put in a symlink perhaps?
What's more annoying is that my friend has apt-get installed vmware on
feisty without any issues and it works perfectly :(
