Ubuntu: Vmware No longer Starts

After upgrading my Ubuntu, 'Vmware Server Console' no longer starts.

Symptoms
Nothing happens after I click the VMware icon and put in the root pass word.
No error messages are produced after clicking the icon.

Resolution
When you install Vmware 'Server Console', it requires for a driver to be compiled. The driver was compiled for the older kernel of your Ubuntu distribution.

1) Bring up a "terminal" or console and type the following to become "superuser"

sudo bash

2) Run Vmware's config script which shuold be

vmware-config.pl

3) Press [ENTER] for all answers accept for, this particular question. Make sure you say "yes" to compile, the question you need to need out for should look like this.

Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.2.3", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.2.4". This configuration is not recommended and
VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same
compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.2.4" anyway? [no]

4) Exit the terminal window and start VMWare Server Console as normal.
