I had installed "VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle" in my Ubuntu 13.10.
Today i Upgrade to Ubuntu 14.4 LTS. Now when I try to launch VMware player it shows a messagebox:



Before you can run vmware several modules mush be compiled, and loaded into the running kernel


I pressed "install" button. But gets error, it doesn't start.



So I tried to reinstall it by typing:



./VMware-Player-6.0.1-1379776.x86_64.bundle


Now it shows,



Extracting VMware Installer...done.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar": liboverlay-scrollbar.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module": libunity-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
No protocol specified
No protocol specified


[######################################################################] 100%
The system is up to date. Nothing has been modified.




How can I launch VMware Player, what i need to install now? My win8 is working with VMware Player. Please help me.
