VMWare install fails

[Jykke]

During installation I get following:

Unable to install the VMware VmPerl Scripting API.

********
The VMware VmPerl Scripting API was not installed. Errors encountered during
compilation and installation of the module can be found here:
/tmp/vmware-config2

You will not be able to use the "vmware-cmd" program.

Errors can be found in the log file:
'/tmp/vmware-config2/control-only/make.log'
********

end of the said log says:
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/control-only'
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/control-only'
mkdir /usr/local/man: File exists at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 112
make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 17
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/control-only'

I am afraid I don't get any wiser about the process and what went wrong with it...
