Hi guys,

Running the vmware server client on Lenny-64bit comes up with an error
(I'll put it at the bottom). The only suggestion I've found so far
that solves this is to downgrade ia32-libs from 2.6 to 1.19.


Unfortunately ia32-libs 2.6 is a dependency for ia32-libs-gtk 2.6, which
in turn is necessary for nspluginwrapper, which in turn I need for flash
(I actually have to use flash applications in my work, but I'm also
dependent on vmware)


Has anyone found a way to get past the vmware problem?

Thanks

I've got vmplayer working fine on Etch/64bit...

Well, I managed to fix this, somehow.

1. Download the old package and unpack it somewhere:
cd /tmp
http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs_1.19_amd64.deb
ar -x ia32-libs_1.19_amd64.deb

2. Copy some libs over to vmware:

mkdir /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libX11.so.6
cp /tmp/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libX11.so.6*
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libX11.so.6/


3. Edit the startup script:

cp /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh-old


vi /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh

under the line:

vm_append_lib 'libXrender.so.1'

add:

vm_append_lib 'libX11.so.6'


You are now able tu use the latest ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk and
VMware will work on its own.
