Please note that with VMWare 1.0.10 the any-any patch (vmware-update) is no longer required as the modules compile just fine on Ubuntu 9.10. At the time this post was written 1.0.9 was the newest VMWare version. If installing the 1.0.10 version, follow this tutorial without installing and running the any-any patch. You will also need extra dependencies in order to validate the serial key for 1.0.10 (don’t ask me why you need sound packages, you do… :/, so before you start executing this manual, do this:
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs lib32asound
