Hello!

I'm dealing with this bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217650

I'm not able to run vmware-server-console-1.0.5

$ eix vmware-server-console
[D] app-emulation/vmware-server-console
Installed versions: 1.0.5.80187(14:04:36 14.04.2008)

$ vmware-server-console

[i] virtual/libstdc++

revdep-rebuild and installing gcc-3.4.6-r2 does not helps

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Thanks, I've already found a solution (thanks to Mike Auty on bugzilla):

"Thanks, this is a known problem. The version in the vmware overlay should
include the fix, which is to remove
/opt/vmware/server/console/lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1. It seems to be
causing the issues and doesn't appear to be vital (in fact, using the system
provided one is generally a better idea). We'll try and get this into the tree
as soon as we can. Thanks again for reporting this... 5"
