Comments on How To Install VMware Server On Debian Sarge
How To Install VMware Server On Debian Sarge This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install the free VMware Server (version 1.0.1) on a Debian Sarge system. VMware has just released version 1.0 of its free VMware Server. With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free). In this article we use Debian Sarge (3.1) as the host operating system.

apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r` libx11-6 libx11-dev x-window-system-core x-window-system xspecs libxtst6 xlibs-dev
can someone tell me way we need Xlibs ?
I installed vmware server bij folowing the howto, but without X .
apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r` is all i did,
if you run a kernel and there are no kernel-headers available, do this.
download the source kernel, exctact it.
copy the config of the kernel from /boot and rename it to .config (dotconfig)
compile the kernel like this make-kpkg --append-to-version="Your Kernel version"
for me it was 2.6.17-2-amd64 so the append part is -2-amd64 for me.
and i follewed the howto and its working great. thanx for the howto.
the only part i changed was.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/build/include
i used the default, /usr/src/linux/include
the because thats the place i compile my kernel.
Hi all,
I usually run Debian Etch as $ARCH amd64. There are some delicate details you need to know, how to install VMware on that kind of system. I wrote a blog entry about that theme, which can be found here:
VMWare Server install on Debian Etch (amd64)
rgds,
I've downloaded VmWare server VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386 But after run ./vmware-install.pl I got error message: "This version of "VMware Server" is incompatible with this operating system." I'm using Debian 8 server.
