Ubuntu7.04系统下安装虚拟机VMware

一、安装依赖包

sudo apt-get install libx11-6 libx11-dev libxtst6 xinetd

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential

二、从vmware官方网站下载最新版vmware-server for linux(ver:1.0.2)

http://www.vmware.com/download/server/ 记得要注册取得授权号码哟

三、解压并安装

tar zxvf VMware-server-1.0.2-39867.tar.gz

cd vmware-server-distrib

sudo vmware-install.pl

可以直接一路默认下去就好，但这不会安装成功，会出现以下错误：

不要理它！我们去下载patch搞定

四、下载并安装patch包

wget http://jaws.go2linux.org/archivos/vmware-any-any-update109.tar.gzcd vmware-any-any-update109sudo ./runme.pl

接下来一路next就好(会出现一些警告错误，说有函数在使用前未初始化)
