1.) Convert your VMware RPM file to a deb with the following command:
alien --to-deb --scripts VMware-workstation-5.5.4-44386.i386.rpm (or whatever the name of your RPM is)
2.) Install VMware by clicking on it and letting install with gdebi.
3.) Open up a root console window and type:
vmware-config.pl (let it generate an error and abort).
4.) Download this file and place it in your /root directory:
http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gz
5.) Open up a root console window and type:
tar zxf vmware-any-any-update113.tat.gz
cd /root/vmware-any-any-update113
Then type:
./runme.pl
It should look like this:
/vmware-any-any-update94# ./runme.pl
