The VMware Tools configurator (vmware-config-tools.pl) isn't part of the open-vm-tools. What you're trying to do is install the regular VMware Tools, most likely the ones that shipped with ESX 3.5. We can try to help you with them too, but you'll probably have more luck filing a support request or posting in the VMware forums. >From what I recall, the release of ESX 3.5 didn't include support for Ubuntu >8.04. That came later, in an ESX 3.5 update release or patch.
