Has anyone had difficulty in installing VMware 5.5.1 in Fedora Core 5?
I cannot find the configuration file in /usr/bin directory in order to
finish the installation. Does anyone know what to do here? I am
installing VMware on a IBM ThinkPad T-30.
Are you installing via tarball or RPM? The RPM works well.
In looking through the archives (You did look in the archives?) I didn't
read about anyone not being able to find vmware-config.pl or other
vmware binaries. Is that your issue?
Others have had problems running vmware-config.pl...but that question
has been asked/answered quite a few times. But, you will probably need
to know that eventually. So, I'll just cut/paste the last response to
that query....
After getting errors when running vmware-config.pl
"Seems other users have reported this issue and have resolved it.
Looking back on the archives...the key seems to have been
vmware-any-any-update99.
We are up to update100 now.
Also (to preempt the next question), if you run SElinux, you may also need
to (as root):
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t \
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
A google of that will bring you to info on where to get it, and how to
install."
