This is a known problem when trying to compile the current vmware modules against 9.10's kernel
Follow the instructions here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-0-x-in-ubuntu-9-10-...
These are one of the sets of instructions I found before and couldn't get to work. I've just done it again now, it worked first time and I have VMWare running. I'm very happy, thanks!
Also you will run into mouse focus issues with the vmware console plugin and firefox 3.5.6, Personally I just launch the console directly, there are instructions on how to do this in the comments on that article.
Noted, thanks!
It's worth mentioning that unless (like me) you need a particular feature provided by VMware and not by virtualbox you might want to consider using that instead.
We use VMWare at work and I'm quite keen to stick with it. I'm hoping to convince work to switch to Linux for development and deployment, but each developer still needs to run their own MS SQL server.....
