eg:
The installation of VMware Player 2.0.3 build-80004 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at
any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl".

Before running VMware Player for the first time, you need to configure
it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want
this
program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

The following libraries could not be found on your system:
libX11.so.6
libXtst.so.6
libXext.so.6
libXrender.so.1
libz.so.1

You will need to install these manually before you can run VMware
Player.


but yet:
mkb@amd64:~$ locate libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0


So, I'm confused!

Hi Michael,

are you sure that the binary package of VMWare works for 64bit architecture?

vmplayer is probably expecting the 32-bit libraries. Install ia32-libs
and ia32-libs-gtk and retry the installation of vmplayer.

Fantastic! Installing ia32-libs did the trick!
Now if only I could work out how to make some folders on my amd64 Debian
system appear on the WinXP virtual machine (without dragging them)!

Thanks! Michael

One way would be setting up Samba.

Samba? Or you can use the shared folders option of vmware.
