    Open your favorite terminal and type:
    Code:
    tar -xvzf VMware-workstation-e.x.p-84113.x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xvzf vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
cd vmware-any-any-update116
rm vmmon.tar 
cp ../vmware-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmmon.tar ./
sudo ../vmware-distrib/vmware-install.pl
    Answer no when asked to run vmware-config.pl

    Then type:

    Code:
    sudo ./runme.pl

    View the following thread on the vmware forums to solve the missing vsock issue: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/137323?tstart=0

    VMware Workstation 6.5 Beta should run now.
