Is there some way you could leave LD_PRELOAD unset, and use wrapper scripts to invoke the applications with which you want to use gdkxft? That's what I'd recommend. I don't think the folks who dreamed up LD_PRELOAD had it in mind that you'd set it except for specific applications. See runsocks, for example. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.

In this case, I am using the LD_PRELOAD variable for all gtk applications. I have many more of those then of Linux programs so either way it is basically the same problem. The gdkxft library being loaded is for anti-aliasing fonts for gtk applications. I really do not absolutely need this functionality but I was just wondering if there was a good way to get around the Linux binary and LD_PRELOAD problem while I was using it.

It's a know bug according to VMware support and they say it is fixed in VMware 3. Since they don't support VMware host on FreeBSD it's up to us to get it working. I started going through the changes that were done with VMware 2 and applying them to VMware 3 but it's taken some time to learn the code etc. So if anyone else is working on it please let me know so we can avoid duplicate efforts.

Since LD_PRELOAD is really only used when you fire off another program then it is usually easy to rename that app the wants or doesn't want LD_PRELOAD set or set different and then replace the original name with a shell script modifying LD_PRELOAD as needed and then start the app. You can get tricky enough to do a file on the app. first and then set LD_PRELOAD to the appropriate path as needed. I've done this in the past and it worked okay. Not that LD_PRELOAD is not an kernel thing but a loader thing. Doug A.
