You can almost do everything as the installer suggest. The trick is however in the post installation steps. You might end up after installing the vmware server console on ubuntu with the following errors when you try to start the console:
jlouwers@NL-jlouwers:/etc/vmware$ vmware
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
The solution to solve this problem is to execute the following 2 commands:
sudo cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0
Now when you start the vmware client all should work fine.

I did this... work for me.
sudo mv /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1.bak
sudo mv /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0.bak
sudo cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/
sudo cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/
