Hello Eric and other Debian users:
I have a workaround for users of vmware 2.0.4 who don't want to upgrade to
vmware 3.1. This is crude, and from now on vmware must be run as root
(unless someone patches the old vmware for the changes to libc6).
Copy a libc6 2.2.5-3 binary from somewhere. The file you need is
/lib/libc-2.2.5.so. I used a woody machine that has not been upgraded in
the last two days. Now, in my personal vmware directory, I made an oldlibs
directory:
syrus@syrus>:~/vmware/oldlibs$ v
total 1148
-rwxr-xr-x 1 syrus syrus 1170812 Apr 7 13:00 libc-2.2.5.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 syrus syrus 15 Apr 7 12:59 libc.so.6 -> ./libc-2.2.5.so
The following script, run as root (using sudo), will now run vmware:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Preload old libc6 so vmware 2.0.4 will continue to run
export LD_PRELOAD=/home/syrus/vmware/oldlibs/libc.so.6
exec /usr/local/bin/vmware
-- Syrus
