It worked for me like this and maybe ya all know this by now :) My system is latest feisty with the classic problem of host <-> guest unable to do any sensible networking.
1) Uninstall vmplayer and delete /etc/vmware and /var/run/vmware 1) Download the latest vmplayer (version 2 when this was done) tar ball from vmware.com 2) Unpack in a suitable place 3) sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` This will download the current header files 4) sudo ./vmware-install.pl I basically said yes to everything (autodetect worked nicely in the script) 5) Tried vmplayer in terminal as my user and pointed it to my gentoo image. It booted up nicely 6) ssh -l username ip-on-guest Thats it Looks like vmware have done a couple of fixes on vmmon, no haxing on header files were needed. I used automatix for the vmplayer but dig this, I checked the version and it said vmplayer 1.02 which is way old.
