VMware server and ubuntu hardy heron

Posted by: phillip in Linux

Today I’ve tried to install the vmware server on my laptop, where is running ubuntu 8.04 ( hardy heron). Everything went smoothly, except when I tried to run the Vmware server-console, the system returned 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)

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_4.2.0′ not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

A quick and dirty workaround is to comment out the line 246 on the file /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh

    Thanks a lot. I might publish an article about this solution in french on my website. My website is available in english also. So I’ll make a link to your article for the english version. Please email me if you have any comment/objection about it. Thanks, Alex.

    Another fix is to remove the directory /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
