Update: I've written a post about the installation of vmware-server 2.0.x in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid LynxDirect installation of VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386.tar.gz in Ubuntu 9.10 karmic exits with error when trying to compile the vmmon module:
[...]
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? [/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/build/include]
Extracting the sources of the vmmon module.
Building the vmmon module.
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

Execution aborted.
Unable to build the vmmon module.
To fix it we must download the ubuntugeek's patch for vmware-server 2.0.1 x64 modules. Yes, the patch for 64-bit fixes the 32-bit package:
root@blogger:/tmp# wget -O - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.tgz | tar xvfz -
Once we have the patch file and the script that installs it we do:
root@blogger:/tmp# ./vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.sh [...] Replacing original file vmnet.tar with patched file Replacing original file vsock.tar with patched file Replacing original file vmmon.tar with patched file Replacing original file vmci.tar with patched file Done! I have changed the files in here: /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source I have placed a backup of the original files in here: /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-backup The original VMware modules directory is still in the way. Please move this directory somewhere else, because it confuses VMware: /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary This command should work now, to install the modules: vmware-config.pl -d
Voila! re-run «vmware-config.pl -d» and enjoy that vmware finally works:
root@blogger:/tmp# vmware-config.pl -d [...] Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor done Virtual machine communication interface done Virtual ethernet done Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 (background) done DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 done Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 (background) done DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 done NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 done VMware Server Authentication Daemon (background) done Shared Memory Available done Starting VMware management services: VMware Server Host Agent (background) done VMware Virtual Infrastructure Web Access Starting VMware autostart virtual machines: Virtual machines done The configuration of VMware Server 2.0.2 build-203138 for Linux for this running kernel completed successfully.
