Anyone able to set this up? I'm getting this msg on cfg: Code: sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Server may be missing. This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware: linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00110000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00164000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00120000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00125000) libX11.so.6 => not found libXtst.so.6 => not found libXext.so.6 => not found libXt.so.6 => not found libICE.so.6 => not found libSM.so.6 => not found libXrender.so.1 => not found libz.so.1 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0018d000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00146000) This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to glibc before you can run VMware Server. Once it's setup, it dies complaining about libX11.so.6 missing. Code: rpm -ql libX11 | grep so.6 /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6.2.0
I didn't see this howto before, but it gives the same result: http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware-server-installation-on-a-fedora9-desktop
I installed some more things... mainly for flash and tried this again, less things are missing, but still: Code: The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Server may be missing.

Solved this by searching for the missing lib here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXtst.so.6&submit=Search+...&system=fedora&arch= This is obvious to some, but I didnt realize I could just use a i386 rpm...
And by solved, I mean I was able to run vmware... now using vmware to launch my XP vm causes a hardlock, it doesn't even start the vm at all it seems.
I tried creating a linux vm and launching it; it crashes the same way; vm goes black and hard locks machine.
So apparently it was virtualization conflicts... I removed the Virtualization group, qemu, and kvm... and it worked. found this thread here: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2008-05/msg01829.html
