Installando VMware Server 1.0.5 build-80187 (ma può succedere anche con altre versioni) su una Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 (ma può succedere anche su altre versioni/distro) ho incontrato il problema di non riuscire a compilare il driver vmmon (a dire il vero non ci è riuscita l'installazione di VMware!).
Questo è un pezzo dell'errore:
Building the vmmon module.
Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

Il problema è dovuto ad una qualche incompatibilità tra versione di VMware e versione della distribuzione installata.
Per risolvere il problema ho installato la patch vmware-any-any-update115, scaricata dal sito http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/ .
Di seguito i passaggi (esegui tutto da root o scrivi i vari comandi mettendo sudo davanti):
# cd /tmp
# wget http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz
# tar xvfz vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz
# cd vmware-any-any-update115
# ./runme.pl

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:

you now? [yes] yes
