I've installed vmware without any real troubles except one. It can't find mozilla even though I've pointed it directly to it. If I enter /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla then the browser opens. According to the vmware instructions I have added

webBrowser = /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla %s

to ~/.vmware/config (which did not exist until I created it BTW) but satill I get the same error:

VMware Workstation could not find Netscape or Mozilla and is therefore unable to provide the information you requested. Please install either Netscape or Mozilla. If you wish to use a different Web browser, say `mybrowser', please place the following line in your "~/.vmware/config" file:
webBrowser = mybrowser %s

Any ideas? Thanks.

VMware is probably looking for netscape/mozilla in your environment path.
try creating a symbolic link in /usr/bin.

e.g.
ln -s /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla /usr/bin/

P.S: the mozilla executable is usually named mozilla-bin
