    @shadowtroopers
    You could try enabling "System > Administration > Software Sources > Updates > (hardy-proposed)" to get a slightly newer kernel and try again.

    I wouldn't normally recommend doing so, but then again I've never seen VMware fail on a 2.6.24-16 kernel.

    You're running Ubuntu Hardy will all of the upgrades I assume? Are you running 64-bit or 32-bit?

    Thanks.

    Make sure to run
    Code:
    sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -y upgrade
    and then try my script again.

    Thanks for the script. It seemed to work great for installing, the modules installed without complaint on my up to date Hardy system.

    However, actually running the program fails with the following error.

    --

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

    I installed the software in /usr/local/bin (I don't like putting self-compiled stuff in /usr/bin), but I don't see how this could be causing the problem. All the files they reference seem to exist, so I'm not sure what to make of these errors.

    Thanks!

    On the Gentoo forums, they suggest simply deleting the file! (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217650). Make sure you back it up before you do however!
