I am on Edgy and it failed to install vmware-player. There was also an
issue installing vmware-server from the vmware website even though it worked
fine on Dapper. The issue is related to the new libdbus. After installing
vmware server, I was able to run it using 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-
1.so.3 vmware'

There's more information on this and other vmware issues on this thread in
