2008-08-20 by xpheas

Version 1.0.6 now works without the Any-Any-Patch.
There are still no binary-packeges available for Hardy, so we have to install it manually:

BASH-Code:

1
2

sudo -s
apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

For Ubuntu-Server also install

BASH-Code:

`1`	apt-get install xinetd libxt6 zlib1g libxtst6 libxrender1 libx11-6 libx11-dev libxtst6

Download und unpack VMware-Server:

BASH-Code:

1
2

wget http://...
tar xfvz VMware-server-1.0.6-91891.tar.gz

Now we can start the install-script:

BASH-Code:

1
2

cd vmware-server-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

Finally we have to change the libgcc library:

BASH-Code:

1
2
3

cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/
mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.old
ln -s /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1
