If you plan to run VMware server 2.x on SME8.0 beta 5, you need to setup a workaround after the SME server installation. The following steps try to outline, which steps exactly are required on SME server. More links to the full background information are provided at the end of this document.
 
If you plan to run VMware server 2.x on SME8.0 beta 5, you need to setup a workaround after the SME server installation. The following steps try to outline, which steps exactly are required on SME server. More links to the full background information are provided at the end of this document.
 +
 +
On the SMEserver command-line (as root user), create a folder for the following work
 +
mkdir /tmp/vmwareglibc
 +
cd /tmp/vmwareglibc
 +
 +
Determine what hardware architecture your server is running on:
 +
uname -a
 +
The result will be similar to this:
 +
 +
Linux mdo002sv 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 07:39:04 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
 +
 +
Depending on the details after the date information above, you will have to do one of the following 'i386/i686' or 'x86_64' block of commands:
 +
 +
For 'i386/686':
 +
wget http://vault.centos.org/5.3/os/i386/CentOS/glibc-2.5-34.i686.rpm
 +
rpm2cpio glibc-2.5-34.i686.rpm | cpio -ivd
 +
mkdir /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6
 +
mv lib/libc-2.5.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6/libc.so.6
 +
 +
For 'x86_64'
 +
wget http://vault.centos.org/5.3/os/x86_64/CentOS/glibc-2.5-34.x86_64.rpm
 +
rpm2cpio glibc-2.5-34.x86_64.rpm | cpio -ivd
 +
mkdir /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6
 +
mv lib64/libc-2.5.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6/libc.so.6
 +
 +
Now we need to edit the vmware script with an editor of your choice, eg. 'vi' or 'pico':
 +
pico -w /usr/sbin/vmware-hostd
 +
and add the following line just before the last line in this file:
 +
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libc.so.6:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 +
 +
After this change has been save, restart the server and VMware server should work from now on.
