Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin".

If I remember correctly I had no bin folder in vmware-vix folder so I created one. So in vmware-vix just type mkdir bin. After that I got it to install.

After installing I tried to start vmware from console by typing vmware and got this: vmware: command not found. I also wasn't able to start it through menus and got "failed to execute child process 'vmware' No such file or directory". This I solved by going to the vmware-directory which was specified during install-process and just typed in console ./vmware which got the program running.

I still didn't get it working perfectly because when starting vmware I got something like
/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

This I solved by copying libpng12.so.0 from /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 to ~/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0

After those I got it working and it seems stable so far. tried it with xp pro. Hope this helps someone.
