Hi All--

I've just installed VMware Player 2.5.1 build-126130 on my Ubuntu laptop. When I try to run an appliance the following message is printed to the console:

VMware Player Error:

VMware Player is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured for your running kernel. To (re-)configure it, your system administrator must find and run "vmware-config.pl". For more information, please see the VMware Player documentation.

First, I find it strange that there would be a configuration issue, since I just finished installing, and second, vmware-config.pl does not seem to be provided by this release (although I do remember it from previous versions.

So I'm at a bit at a loss as to how to proceed. Suggestions welcome.

The only other possibly relevant information is that theduring the end of the install the following warnings showed up, but it also prints that the installation was successful:

Traceback (most recent call last):

if self.shouldRollover(record):

s = self._fmt % record.__dict__

Installation was successful

Thanks!
