I’ve got a headless Ubuntu Server Install, so most of the X dependency’s VMware server has I had to locate and install, here is a list of the packages I had to install from apt-get.

Make sure you have these packages installed prior to running vmware-config.pl, ideally you should run these before you run the install script, but you can still recover if you already have.
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
sudo apt-get install xinetd
sudo apt-get install libxext6
sudo apt-get install libx11-6
sudo apt-get install libxi6
sudo apt-get install libice6
sudo apt-get install libxt6
sudo apt-get install libxtst6
sudo apt-get install libxrender1
If you make something explode, you can contact me if I missed something. Otherwise get involved on the Ubuntu forums (far away from me)
