You're right, there is no vmware-config.pl in vmware-player-2.5.0. In the steps you carried out, it doesn't mention that, as root, you started the vmware service using "/etc/init.d/vmware start"? Please try that and report the entire output (from /etc/init.d/vmware start onwards). If the service fails to start, please try removing the file /etc/vmware/not_configured and report the same results (run "/etc/init.d/vmware start" and give the entire output). Thanks... 5:)

Removing /etc/vmware/not_configured worked for me, thanks.
