Exactly what i need. Works flawlessly.

Thank you very much :D

From the Ubuntu forums:

# sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

This will allow the system to ping to find unused subnets.

Hey Grim76,

Hey thanks so much for this. Saved me a lot of frustration. vmware-config.pl gave me issues about incompatible gcc version. It installed but it was looking as stable as the global financial system. It crashed everytime i thought it had compiled. I then just copied and pasted this in terminal

cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1

and it fixed it. I didn't follow the first 3 steps but this sorted it anyway.

Thanks again

This worked perfectly for me.

Hi,

I'm using vmware server 1.0.5. After update from 7.10 to 8.04  I just run vmware-config.pl again and everything worked fine.

I removed some unused operating systems (windows), installed new clean 8.04 and try to install the same vmware distribution. It did not worked even with vmware-any-any-update-116.

This worked for me:
