[ubuntu] [SOLVED] vmware server console not working after upgrade to hardy

[trmentry]

I just upgraded to Hardy on my laptop. Everything seems to be working fine. Except vmware-server-console doesn't run.

I figured I needed to reinstall it so I re-ran the pl script. It says it installed fine. But when I run it I get the following:

$ vmware-server-console
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

I'm not sure how to proceed on this. Any pointers?

Thanks

Have a look at this post.

In particular there are a couple of ln commands near the bottom of the post that may help.

[trmentry]

Nope. Those symlinks didn't appear to help. Get the same errors as above.

Thanks though


This is just for the client console not for the server itself. I have the server running on another box, so just need the client on my laptop.

This post in the same thread shows errors similar to yours. You could try copying the mentioned files.

[trmentry]

# cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/
cp: `/lib/libgcc_s.so.1' and `/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1' are the same file

# cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/
cp: `/usr/lib/libpng12.so.0' and `/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0' are the same file

Also is there a clean way to uninstall the vmware-server-console? I'm not wanting to manually do it unless necessary as I have vmware workstation working and dont' want to bork it by removing the wrong files.

[trmentry]

Found this here that had the answer that worked for me to get it working.

cd /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.org

cd ../libpng12.so.0

mv libpng12.so.0 libpng12.so.0.org

Those commands work for me, but I had to use sudo before.

Yah... sorry about that... I was root when I did it and forgot about sudo.

Those commands as sudo work for me also
