结论，建议在vmware网站上下载最新版本，或者说不是太旧的版本来安装。
我就是因为给ubuntu划分的空间比较小，最先下载了5.0.0版本（六十几M），安装时出现许多问题，解决这些问题心力交瘁，并且最后没能完全解决。
尔后下载了5.5.9（100M），安装出现一些问题，但相对较少。最终安装成功。
但是仍需要找到一个vmnet.tar包替换安装程序中对应版本。

其它的版本6以上没有下载，大小在300M左右。
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation 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] yes
----------------
The path "/usr/src/linux" is an existing directory, but it does not contain at least one of these directories "linux", "asm", "net" as expected.
A：There are two methods - slow but simpler:
cd /usr/src/linux //install linux-source package
make cloneconfig ／／oldconfig
make modules_prepare //make
vmware-config.pl
And faster, but more complicated:
open /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl in text editor, and remove code which tests for existence of asm/page.h and these 3 subdirectories, as described in marcinz's posts in URL above. Then run vmware-config-tools.pl. It should then offer /lib/modules/2.6.11-4-20a/build/include as default, and it should nicely work.
----------------
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match
your running kernel (version 2.6.22-14-generic). Even if the module were to
compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
A: modify the version.h file in include/linux/ directory:
add this line
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.18"
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.22-14-generic" //exact version
---------------
WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.
A: For what its worth, Module.symvers is created for you when you compile wlan_ng. You just need to copy it to(from?) /lib/modules/xxxxx/build.

A:if this is correct rebuilding a kernel for i486 should do the trick.

make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon-only'
Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel:
insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon.o': -1 Invalid module format
There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. You may want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.
A:???
so run vmware-uninstall.pl && download 5.5.9 version
==============以下为VM 5.5.9
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/include]

A.same.
but 如果你不是从头从头运行 vmware-install.pl 而是运行 vmware-config.pl
需要修改的文件在：/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar。

The module loads perfectly in the running kernel.
The following bridged networks have been defined:
. vmnet0 is bridged to eth0
Do you wish to configure another bridged network? (yes/no) [no]
Do you want to be able to use NAT networking in your virtual machines? (yes/no)
[yes]
Configuring a NAT network for vmnet8.
Do you want this program to probe for an unused private subnet? (yes/no/help)
[yes]
Probing for an unused private subnet (this can take some time)...
The subnet 192.168.56.0/255.255.255.0 appears to be unused.
The following host-only networks have been defined:
. vmnet1 is a host-only network on private subnet 172.16.202.0.
untar the "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar" file in the
"/tmp/vmware-config12" directory.

running kernel completed successfully.
You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware".
