I'm having a bit of difficulty running vmware-config.pl
I get the following output:
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 => (0xffffe000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xf7fbd000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7fb9000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7fa7000)
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/tls/libc.so.6 (0xf7e7b000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fe9000)
This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to glibc
before you can run VMware Server.
Everything runs smoothly after that but when it comes to ask for the serial I get:
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The serial number (my serial number here) is invalid.
Please enter your 20-character serial number.
Type XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX or 'Enter' to cancel:
So I've looked for the library and it does appear in
./usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.so.6
./usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.so.6.2
As do all of the libraries that vmware-config.pl is complaining about
And /usr/X11R6/lib64 is in the ld.so.conf.d directory in the file xorg-x11-x86_64.conf
Anyone able to assist?
