Vmware on Ubuntu 7.04

[Lyecdevf]

I have tried several times to install Vmware on my box. I followed some instructions on the net.

It tells me that I should install it this way:

tar -xzf /Path/To/VMware-server-1.0.3-xxx.tar.gz

So I would generate the command some thing like this:

tar -xaf /lyecdevf/home/VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731.i386.tar.gz

So the first thing it tells me to use the command like this:

`tar -xaf /lyecdevf/home/VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731.i386.tar.gz

So that is what I put in but than the terminal gives me this charactare:

>

So no matter what I type after that nothing happens. Even when I type exit.

Note: I posted this thread in combination with the VMX builder because I would really like to find a way to start building some virtual machines on my box. So if you can not help me with this one maybe you could help me with the other.
