Just to save anyone else the trouble of trying this: I saw the discussion of problems with VMWare and the 2.6.26 kernel at the following page:
http://www.nowhere.dk/archives/2008/07/23/vmware_workstation_6_0_4_on_ubuntu_intrepid_ibex_kernel_2_6_26/index.php (See also: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/154066;jsessionid=B873F35D2FF24AAF3D0CBE6F0CD5FB0C?tstart=0 ) So just as an experiment I downloaded the three updated modules mentioned: http://www.nowhere.dk/files/vm/vmmon.tar http://www.nowhere.dk/files/vm/vmblock.tar http://www.nowhere.dk/files/vm/vmnet.tar and I attempted to rerun vmware-config.pl. This gave some new errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl Making sure services for VMware Server are stopped.

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons? [/usr/share/icons] What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a .desktop file extension.

[/usr/share/pixmaps] /usr/share/applications/vmware-server.desktop: warning: value "vmware-server.png" for key "Icon" in group "Desktop Entry" is an icon name with an extension, but there should be no extension as described in the Icon Theme Specification if the value is not an absolute path /usr/share/applications/vmware-console-uri-handler.desktop: warning: value "vmware-server.png" for key "Icon" in group "Desktop Entry" is an icon name with an extension, but there should be no extension as described in the Icon Theme Specification if the value is not an absolute path Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
