I was able to install VMWare Server 1.0.6-918891 on Unbuntu 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27-27-generic, when I run either ./vmware-config.pl or ./runme.pl from the vmware-update-2.6.27-5.5.7-2 I get the following error:

VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.
Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the command for
you now? [yes]

.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build/include]
