Version 8.04 and VMware 1.0.6

[Tom-266]

I installed VMware version 1.0.6 on mentioned platform and received the
following error:

/usr/lib/VMware/bin/vmware:  /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_S.SO.1/libgcc_S.SO.1:Version 'GCC_3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.SO.2), also, same message for version 'GCC_4.2.0'

Anyone have a way around this problem??? Any help appreciated.

Although I found two references concerning this version issue within the
libgcc Library and I did get VMware Server 1.0.6 running (sort of) under
Ubuntu 8.04, I continued to have too many problems and concluded that the
VMware 1.0.x Server was too old to support this latest release from
Ubuntu???  NOTE VMware is working on a 2.x Beta of their Server...

Problems which persisted included having to switch to the Proprietary ATI
Video Drive to get the Full Screen MDOE to work and a Strange CPU Hang
within the Guest (Windows 2000 I believe it was)...  NOTE: VMware
Workstation 2.0.4 runs much better under Ubuntu 8.04, although still it is
still on "Edge" of Stability!!!

Remove libgcc_s.so.1, and all should be well.

No, don't do that - that would render your system unusable because many
programs need libgcc_s.so.1. Well, you didn't specify the path, but on my
machine there is only one in /lib.

Hey,

No he's right, remove the library, but specifically, remove vmware's
version of the library:
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_S.SO.1/libgcc_S.SO.1

This is gaining preference over the system version for vmware. I think
it is a bug in vmware that it installs the library at all when a more
recent one is present on the system.

This works for me using XUbuntu 8.04 and VMware Server 1.06,
same/similar setup as you describe.

cheers,
Owen.

Maybe removing /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_S.SO.1/libgcc_S.SO.1 is OK, but
that isn't the file name I was referring to. Please note that file names
are case sensitive.

Yeah, that is why I clarified the specific vmware lib: to avoid a
misunderstanding that could result in him removing his system lib
(/lib/libgcc_s.so.1).

Sorry, I copied and pasted from the OP error message.
The actual (case specific) file as on my system was:
'/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1'

cheers,
Owen.

Hi,

I am having similar problems with the combination of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and
VMware server version 1.0.6.

Aside from the current issue, the machine was upgraded successfully from
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Also, vmware server version 1.0.5 worked fine with
the late Ubuntu 6.06.

I was able to fix the error described above by soft linking the system
gcc lib as described in many posts and web pages[1].

Then I got this error message:

,----
| process 10982: Attempt to remove filter function 0xb6a4ecd0 user data
| 0x88c8520, but no such filter has been added
`----

I have found 2 proposed solutions for this problem:

1. Soft linking the system libpng12.so to vmware's location

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0
   
   Also tried this:

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0

   Result: Both attempts did not work and returned the same error message.

2. Stopping D-BUS

   sudo /etc/init.d/dbus stop && vmware

   Result: This worked and allowed my to access my guest OSes.

   BUT: Stopping dbus resulted in a loss of "Meta"-key (Control, Meta,
   Alt, Shift keys) functionality in the server OS (Ubuntu). Note that
   these keys were still functional in the guest OS (Windows XP). Since
   dbus seems to be play in important role in Ubuntu's IPC, I obviously
   do not feel comfortable with this workaround.


Has anybody (a) encountered the same problem and (b) found a solution?

I have also searched the vmware forums, but I could not find a solution
to this problem.

Don't hesitate to ask for more infos.

Thankful for any pointers,

Patrick
