DId you run the "runme.pl" script a second time like you have to? The first time some binary doesn't have the version number yet and guesses wrong.

There is some problem with using this patch vmware-update-2.6.27-5.5.7-2.tar.gz with vmware server. The patch was apparently designed for vmware workstation 5.5. My experience was that when I successfully installed vmware 1.0.9 server on my ubuntu 9.04 jaunty it installed "ok" (though not by any means a normal install – many warnings) but moreover the key mappings are messed up somehow: when I went to create a Centos 4.7 vm in the vmware server 1.0.9 it got caught in an endless loop at media check – the buttons "pressing themselve" (heh it was pretty funny) no way to stop it…I verified that my centos .iso files were ok by doing the same vm install on Virtual Box. Beware of using this patch for vmware server. There are things in it that are not fully working right. G

Fantastic. Thanks.

Works with VMware Server 1.0.9 and Linux kernel 2.6.27-11-server too.

If you are interested in getting MUI going you need to edit httpd.vmware and fix a problem with trap (due to bash vs. dash) issues.

Line 226:
From:
(trap '' SIGHUP; "$func" "$@") >/dev/null 2>&1
To:
(trap '' 1; "$func" "$@") >/dev/null 2>&1
