ovf files and vmware workstation for Linux

I have an ovf file to open on vmware workstation 7.1.4 (latest available 1 week ago) for linux but vmware workstation doesn't support this format.

I installed vmware workstation today on Windows 7 and it does support the ovf format.

How do I open the ovf file on linux?  I tried to install a package called vmware-ovftool-2.1.0, but it compained of vmware related dependancies I believe.

Is there a way to convert from ovf to a compatible config file that the linux version accepts such as .vmx or .cfg?
