Have since installed VMWare 5 and am running that without problem on FC4. I never did adjust prelink, but perhaps it is one of the things that the vmware-any-any-update resolves inside of VMWare. Currently, my /etc/prelink.conf has no unique references to VMWare locations. And, yes prelink is turned on. Interestingly though, if I look at /var/log/prelink.log (ran this morning at 4:02am), I have some errors related to vmware: > [root@rltp40f4 ~]# grep vmware /var/log/prelink.log > /usr/sbin/prelink: /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmrun: Could not find one of the dependencies > /usr/sbin/prelink: /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: Could not find one of the dependencies > Prelinking /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx > /usr/sbin/prelink: Could not write /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx: invalid section entry size > Prelinking /usr/lib/vmware/bin-debug/vmware-vmx > /usr/sbin/prelink: Could not write /usr/lib/vmware/bin-debug/vmware-vmx: invalid section entry size But, in any event, it does work (though, as I recall, the vmware-any-any-update did become necessary at one point to allow it to compile the modules in vmware-config.pl and, of course, I need to re-run vmware-config.pl every time I update my kernel).... --Rob
