==Instalamos==
Ya descargado la versión que elijan disponemos a crear una carpeta donde mejor nos convenga para albergar temporalmente el nuestro vmware descargado.
 su 
 #mkdir /opt/tmp
 #cp VMware-server-*.tar.gz /opt/tmp
 #tar xvfz VMware-server-*.tar.gz
entramos al directorio
 #cd vm*
ejecutamos aqui antes 
 # export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-version
donde versión seria la que disponen, esto es por precaución si actualmente tienen un kernel > 2.6.24, ahora si.
 #./vmware-install.pl

asumimos previo registro con serial obtenido de vmware

 The configuration of VMware Server 1.0.4 build-56528 for Linux for this running
 kernel completed successfully.

Aquí mostramos una recompilación de los módulos de vmware que es exactamente lo mismo a una instalación, ya que se necesitan la compilación de módulos VMNET VMMON de vmware. Lamentablemente no tiene la facilidad de virtualBox a la hora de actualizar un kernel, porque en virtualBox sólo es necesario llamar 
 #/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
y tenemos nuestros módulos en vmware, hay que aplicar parches exclusivos para los kernel llamados
 vmware-any-any-update-1xx.tgz
este archivo debe ser descomprimido, y correr el script de perl que se encuentra dentro
 #./runme.pl
este script realiza una recompilación de módulos aplicando los parches respectivos al kernel en cuestión.
==NOTA==

Si tratan de ejecutar en este momento el vmare-server se darán cuenta de que envía algunos errores. Hay algo más que debemos hacer.

Básicamente vmware necesita algunas librerías de cairo y gcc. Para resolver esto vamos a generar algunos vínculos simbólicos hacia esas librerías:

 ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/ixxx-linux-gnu/4.x.x/libgcc_s.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1

 ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0


Cada nueva recompilación aplica parche sobre los archivos ubicados en:
 /usr/lib/vmware/modules
antes de aplicar parche recomiendo copia de seguridad; si tengo kernel 2.6.24 aplico parche vmware-any-any-update116, si actualicé a kernel 2.6.25 debo cargar nuevamente los archivos tar que se encuetran en 
 /usr/lib/vmware/modules
sobreescribiendo los nuevos. luego volver a aplicar el parche para que no se aplique el parche sobre otro parche, porque sino no funcionará. Los parches deben ser aplicados de 0. También aclaro que de ser posible no usen los headers y usen las fuentes del kernel como link en
 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.x
 /lib/modules/2.6.x/build -> /usr/src/linux 
 /lib/modules/2.6.x -> /usr/src/linux
bajen los fuentes del kernel desde los repo de debian o desde la web oficial del kernel.
copien los config para no modificar su configuración, los config por lo general se encuentran en 
 /boot
dicen 
 config-2.6.x
copien los config
 #cp /boot/config-2.6.x /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.x/.config
 #make olconfig && make prepare && make modules_prepare
ahora pueden estar seguros de que no verán errores en la compilación para ninguna heramienta que requiera módulos desde vmware,virtualbox,nvidia,ati etc. los headers empaquetados no proveen toda los recursos necesarios para determinadas compilaciones, es razón por la cual debemos realizar estos pasos previos como recomendación.

==Parche Kernel 2.6.25==
[[Media:Vmware-parche-2.6.25.tar | Parche vmware kernel 2.6.25 ]]
==Parcheando Modulos VMware==
 #cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules 
 #tar -xvf Vmware-parche-2.6.25.tar
 #cd sources
 #tar -xvf vmmon.tar 
 #tar -xvf vmnet.tar
 #cd vmmon*
 #patch p1 < ../vmmon-2.6.25.patch
 #cd ..
 #cd vmnet*
 #patch p1 < ../vmnet-2.6.25.patch
Ahora corremos nuevamente el script de perl para configurar nuestro vmware.
 #vmware-config.pl.
si todo salió ok tendrán los módulos en /lib/modulos/2.6.x/
