vmware error in hardy

[Dubbayoo]

This command fixed my problem... I read it somewhere else.



vsr@localhost:~$ sudo cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/

vsr@localhost:~$ sudo cp /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgcc_s.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1

This command works for me using vmware server. Apparently it does not work for vmware workstation.

tlacuache,

Can you explain what you did to the gtkrc file? I posted about this problem about two weeks ago. The only difference for me is that I can only run vmware as sudo, I don't even get an error when I do so. I even uninstalled the previous vmware version I had (1.4.0) and installed 1.5.0, but the problem is still there.

Thanks a lot

IIRC, I went through the gtkrc file and replaced variables for colors (@fg_color, etc.) with their actual values instead.

But, like I said, I still had the assertion error. I've tried the things mentioned by the other posters in this thread (thank you, by the way) but it didn't fix my problem.

I got fed up with it and just installed VMWare Server instead, and it's been working fine for me. The only thing I feel slightly bad about is that the VMWare Workstation my company bought for me a few years ago is now completely unused. That and the lack of multiple snapshots.

I just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy. I'm using VMWare Workstation. Running vmware-config.pl, I first got an error about vmmon not compiling, so I googled around and found vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz and was then able to build and install the modules just fine.

However, when running vmware, I got these errors:

$ vmware

After googling around some more, and after finding this thread, I did the following:

sudo ln -sf /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo ln -sf  /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0

However, now I get these errors:

Anyway, I'm quite stuck. I don't want to have to go back to 7.10. Please help!

-Thanks,

Looks like you pointed the libraries used by your system to the libraries used by vmware. It's not a good idea to link libs in /lib or /usr/lib to app specific sub folders like that unless you really know what you are doing. I suggest reinstalling those libs that you sym-linked, libgcc and libpng, with apt or whatever.

As for the vmware issue this fix worked for me

However, when running vmware, I got these errors:

I had exactly the same problem... try this:

sudo rm -Rf /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

I know I'm bumping up an old thread but this is relevant to my attempts here. I was getting those same header file errors so I tried those file overwrite/delete commands but I keep getting this afterward:

process 14779: Attempt to remove filter function 0xb6a93cd0 user data 0x88bdbb0, but no such filter has been added

Any ideas?

[lizman]

I got the same error.
Solved the problem by just deleting the file "/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1"

Thank you for the two cp-lines. It worked perfectly for me!

This command fixed my problem... I read it somewhere else.

vsr@localhost:~$ sudo cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/

vsr@localhost:~$ sudo cp /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgcc_s.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1

This "fix" is also applicable, with a slight variation, for vmware-server-console, if you are installing that independantly. Just adjust the path in each of the commands to replace vmware with vmware-server-console. This worked for me in Ubuntu 8.0.4 installing vmware-server-console 1.0.7-108231.

Thanks.

I had the same problem with vmware-server 1.0.7.
I just removed the two files:
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0

The explanation may be the following:
VMware is redistributed with most of the libraries, but not with libcairo2. But when using xgl or a vectorial X backend, libcairo is needed.
libcairo2 is linked to whatever it was compiled with, which does not match the libraries in /usr/lib/vmware/lib. Removing or renaming the files should be enough so that the dynamic load gets the default versions of the libs.
