VMware console not run in Ubuntu 8.04

[Faria]

Hello,

I have been installed Ubuntu 8.04.1

Then I installed the VMware server, is ok, but the vmware-server-console show some errors:

rodrigo@rodrigo-laptop:~$ 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)

My version gcc:

rodrigo@rodrigo-laptop:~$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)

All files are installed.

rodrigo@rodrigo-laptop:~$ whereis libgcc_s.so.1
libgcc_s.so: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

rodrigo@rodrigo-laptop:~$ whereis libcairo.so.2
libcairo.so: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2

rodrigo@rodrigo-laptop:~$ whereis libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Any idea ?

Best regards,

Faria

I was having this issue with the VMware Server Console on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit (Linux cmccabe-ubuntu 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux):

Renaming the library did the trick:

cmccabe@cmccabe-ubuntu:~$ cd /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
cmccabe@cmccabe-ubuntu:/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1$ sudo mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.orig

Thanks,

what youĺl need to do is run the following commands in a terminal window

sudo cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
sudo cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0

if you are running x64 version of ubuntu youĺl need to run the following as well

sudo ln -s /usr/lib32 /usr/l32
sudo sed -i -e 's:usr/lib/:usr/l32/:g' /usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loader-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.loaders
sudo sed -i -e 's:usr/lib/:usr/l32/:g' /usr/lib32/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.1200.9

thanks this works on Kubuntu 8.04.1. VM-ware server console 1.0.4 however creates a folder for each of the libriary file e.g /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1 I simply deleted the folder and copied from the /lib dir
