I am running "Linux saidin 2.6.14.3 #1 SMP Sat Dec 10 11:17:02 EST 2005
x86_64 GNU/Linux" on an ASUS A8V-Deluxe+Wifi + AMD64 3800+ x2.
I went through similar problems trying to get GSX 3.2 running. Here is my
"quick list" of steps that got me working in case I have to do it again:
. Get AnyAny update
. install ia32-libs
. install ia32 base Debian to /emul/ia32-linux (chroot location) using
debootstrap
. install GSX
. update /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to point to the /emul/ia32-linux libs
directory (otherwise authentication via vmware-authd won't work)
My main stumbling point was not using debootstrap to set up a full ia32
chroot (ie. ia32-libs is not enough). Once I had done this, compiling the
vmware kernel modules and running vmware wasn't a problem. I followed the
instructions in
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html
for running debootstrap.
Cheers
Michael

you would most likely need to run vmware in a proper chroot the other
problem is kernel modules, im not sure if they work for 64bit kernels.

Hi I have problem to get work VmWare. I read some post and try these
solutions, but I don't get to work it.
I have AMD64 system and have ia32-libs package installed. Has VmWare
sources in "/usr/local/src/vmware-distrib" directory, and
vmware-any-any-update96 path on
"/usr/local/src/vmware-distrib/vmware-any-any-update96" directory.
# dpkg -l |grep ia32
ii ia32-libs 1.5
When run runme.pl in any-any directory I get:

"/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.
Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to
configure it for your running kernel by invoking the following
command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the
command for you now? [yes] ....
....
....
At end of this process:
Starting VMware services:

Any ideas?
