I suggest you give VirtualBox a go. Very impressive performance, even on systems without hardware virtualisation support (like my AMD64 x2 3800 workstation) and recently (thanks to Sun) a friendly license…

I actually explored this avenue partially. I just needed to get some Windows access, I didn’t care how. I got VirtualBox installed and began the complicated process of converting a vmware image into a virtualbox image, when it became apparent that fixing vmware would be simpler. (And I already knew a fresh windows install would be more involved.) So trying out VirtualBox will have to wait.

Good tip — thanks. I was stuck trying to install VMWare after upgrading to Hardy. Didn’t have time to frig around, glad I found your page. Thanks, Mike Wilson

hey all, the copy is not a good solution because it means if the original gets updated then the updates wont be reflected in the copied one... also you are waseing space...

firstmake an empty folder for the lib to go into:

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

then make a symbolic link from the real lib folder to the one vmware is looking for

sudo ln -s /lib/libgccs.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgccs.so.1/
