ubuntu upgrade vmware workstation woes

[swaters]

i recently upgrade from kubuntu 7.10 (gutsy gibbon) to kubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron). i was not surprised when vmware workstation for linux didn't work after the upgrade. i figured a kernel upgrade was packaged in the new distro. when i went to execute vmware-config.pl, i got the following:

here is my system information:

Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

i'm not sure how to get the exact build since I can't run vmware, but it is vmware workstation 6 for linux. it was downloaded for evaluation on 01/24/08 and purchased on 02/08/08.

any ideas? get the newest version of workstation? thanks.
