Installing VMware 7.0 Under Ubuntu 9.10

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation

Following the above slightly outdated article.

VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle

   1. Install required packages build-essential, linux-kernel-headers and linux-kernel-devel

      sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-kernel-headers linux-kernel-devel

   2. Navigate to where the .bundle VMWare file is, then type this in

      gksudo bash ./VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.0-203739.i386.bundle

Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-kernel-devel"
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-kernel-devel"

Looks like I may not need this package.

This thread even makes things more confusing.

This doesn't look good.

With Steve's help.

It seems that I could simple ignore the linux-kernel-devel.

Also the bundle will tell you what you are missing.

gksudo is when you need to run something graphical.
