I had the same issue, the solution here solved it for me - via
any-any-update116:
http://www.bauer-power.net/2008/04/installing-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-804.html
I found after completing this that my /home/roger/.vmware/preferences
file was owned by root:root which caused the vmware command to fail
(kindly pointing to the said file), once changed to roger:roger all was
good.
Cheers,
Roger

come out soon.
