在Ubuntu7.04下安装虚拟机VMware Server
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)
