刚下了最新的99版的补丁，还是不行……编译时有出错，但能通过，可是编译完成后VMware还是运行不了啊（Player可以运行）。哪个大哥帮帮忙？

把它提示的那个库文件，好像是libgcc.so.1吧，从/usr/lib拷到vmware目录下的lib里就好了

可是，我根本没有办法安装新的vmware-any-any-update99补丁， 运行时会出现下面错位信息。请问如何解决呢？

[root@localhost vmware-any-any-update99]# ./runme.pl
Unable to open the installer database /etc/vmware/locations in read-mode.

Execution aborted.

和楼上一样 求解..........

Bug:
When you try and configure vmware with
Code:
/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl
it asks
Code:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
but then you get an error complaining
Code:
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.

Fix:
The hack is to edit the script itself and comment out a return to enable you to by-pass this check.

Use your favourite editor (vim!) to edit the script
Code:
nano -w /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl
scroll down to line1982 (vmware version 5.5) and comment out (#) the return ''; like so:
Code:
. "\n" . $pattern . ' __PAGE_OFFSET') . ' | '
       . shell_string($gHelper{'gcc'}) . ' ' . shell_string('-I' . $answer)
       . ' -E - | ' . shell_string($gHelper{'grep'}) . ' '
       . shell_string($pattern));
     chomp($header_page_offset);
     $header_page_offset =~ s/^$pattern \(0x([0-9a-fA-F]{8}).*$/$1/;
     if ($header_page_offset =~ /[0-9a-fA-F]{8}/) {
       # We found a valid page offset
       if (not (lc($header_page_offset) eq lc($gSystem{'page_offset'}))) {
         if ($source eq 'user') {
           print wrap('The kernel defined by this directory of header files
           does ' . 'not have the same address space size as your
           running ' . 'kernel.' . "\n\n", 0);
         }
#         return '';
       }
     }

Then run the same vmware config script and it should build. If you get another error saying "can't stop vmware" then pass the "-skipstopstart" option like so
Code:
/opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmware-config.pl -skipstopstart
Once your modules are built, reboot and try to run vmware. Don't forget to add yourself to the vmware group.

如果你在用的 vmware 来装 fc5 的话：

$su -
#which vmware-config-tools.pl
/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
#vi /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
修改1982行，在前边加个‘#’，即注释掉该行。
#vmware-config-tools.pl

就好了。
