Do you want this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes] /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "lib.so.6" not found, required by "vmware-checkvm" /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "lib.so.6" not found, required by "vmware-checkvm" /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "lib.so.6" not found, required by "vmware-checkvm" This configuration program is to be executed in a virtual machine. Execution aborted. I also tried starting KDE and in a Konsole terminal window (as root) running /usr/local/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl and I get the same results Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance...
