Darren,

With VMware 5.5 beta, you do not need to do anything else but
installing it from the tarball. (Do not use the rpm, whose
installation is problematic; at least, I was not successful.) You can
download this beta version from the VMware site, but it will expire in
the middle of December.

Regards,

Paul
