That's strange. Let's see...

$ cat /var/db/pkg/linux_base-6.1/+CONTENTS | grep ld-linux
lib/ld-linux.so.1
lib/ld-linux.so.1.9.5
lib/ld-linux.so.2

Apparently my linux-base has it...


Interesting thing is that at my computer vmware is linked statically:

$ ldd `which vmware`
ldd: /usr/local/bin/vmware: not a dynamic executable

Maybe there are some installation options. I can't remember now. :(


I know that I first installed it on 4.1-S and forgot about it for a while.
Then I upgraded to 4.1.1-S and vmware didn't want to run, so I reinstalled
it anew. It has worked since then (now I'm using 4.2-R).
