 |
|
I'm trying to get vmware-server-console working from my Mac uxing X11 forwarding, but that's another problem.
The problem I'm having, or maybe it's not even a problem, is that when I execute "vmware-server-console" from the Gentoo server, nothing happens. No errors, no feedback, nothing in the logs, nothing. In fact, the only response I can get at all is when using the '-v' parameter for version. Is this normal and my problem is with the X11 forwarding side, or should I be seeing some kind of response even if it's an error?
Thanks |

You can try to reconfigure it: | Code: | | /opt/vmware/server/console/bin/vmware-config-server-console.pl |
/usr/bin/vmware-server-console is actually a shell script, so you can check its contents and see if you can figure out what it is doing or where it is going wrong. |

Good advice. I ran the actual executable and it came back with this:
/opt/vmware/server/console/lib/bin/vmware-server-console: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Now I just need to figure that out.
Thanks

| I think that may be provided by the old version of expat (1.x series). Do you have dev-libs/expat-1.95.8 installed? |

| I think that may be too new, though. Do you have the old one installed? (it may not be the solution... i'm just guessing!) |

| I don't appear to have another version installed. If I try to install the version you specified, it appears to want to downgrade, which probably would be bad. |

| Yeah, it's not slotted so I don't know... i emerged vmware-server-console just for kicks and everything seems to work, but i don't have a vmware-server so i can't say for sure. I'm on ~amd64 |
