Installing VMWare Server in Hardy

[jonathanhayward]

I ran into the same error myself, and followed:

http://www.robert-franz.com/cms/cont...22/12/lang,en/

Specifically, I ran:

cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.old
sudo ln -sf /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1

and vmware started up the next time I ran it.

Okay, that's what I thought. On 32-Bit it works, but currently not on 64-Bit machines.

Just so you know, I had it working last week, (HH), and then did an Ubuntu upgrade to kernel 2.6.24-1-generic and started running into the same thing you are seeing.

So I don't know why ldd would segfault but I thought I'd send vmware over to my gentoo box to see what it said.

Hope it helps.

I had also the locking assertion failure related to libX problem. I solve it by finding and old version of the library and made a workaround to trick VMWare to use this library. I explaind it more here.

Briefly you have to find an old version of the library and put it into a directory called libX11.so.6 in your VMWare installation and it works afterwards

The l3232 suggests you ran the sed command which is not valid for the final release of Hardy.

You need to change all instances of "l3232" to "l32" (or lib32) in /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loader-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.loaders to fix the problem

sudo sed -i -e 's/usr\/l3232/usr\/l32/g' /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loader-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.loaders

I would be inclined to use lib32 vs l32 since it is more proper but I do not have a machine to test on to confirm (whereas I have tested l32).

THANK YOU! I've had so many issues with VMWare on 8.04.1 it's just not true! Haven't managed to keep it stable long enough to create a VM! finally have the console running, thanks to all who've contributed to this thread!
