[wplug] VMware issues.

[Ryan Schuster]

I'm in the process of trying to configure VMWare server on my ubuntu
7.04 machine. I've managed to get it installed, but when I run:

sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl

I get an error:

Building the vmmon module.

What do I need to do to get this going?  I've had similar problems with
ubuntu 6.10 and fc5.

Any help or directions on where to go for more info would be
appreciated.
