Problem installing VMWare Server 2 on ubuntu version 8.10

[ubantuwannabe]

initially i goggole how to install vmware on ubuntu which leads me to the following web pages.

http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_fei...e_server_howto

unforunately I realize that this was not suitable as my server is now ubuntu 8.10

when I run the installer

sudo vmware-install.pl

sudo: vmware-install.pl: command not found

so I

sudo find / -name vmware-config.pl -print
/home/chunhung/download/vmware/vmware-server-distrib/bin/vmware-config.pl

next I

cd bin
sudo ./vmware-config.pl

Unable to find the database file (/etc/vmware/locations)

Execution aborted.

Could anybody helps me to resolve this issue.

later I realize my version of ubuntu is Ubuntu 8.10

and come across

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779934

so how should I resolve this issue?

thanks

Which VMware Server 2 package did you use for installing?
If it's RPM, try the tar.gz package.

Use this guide instead:

Change sudo vmware-install.pl to:

sudo ./vmware-install.pl

to execute a program/script that is not in the locations scanned for programs you need to uses a relative path "./" or an absolute path "/home/user/vmware-server/vmware-install.pl"
