vmware installs won't run

[Greg Madden <gomadtroll@gci.net>]

I am running Etch. with 2.6.16 sources, doesn't require the ~any-any
patch. After a recent upgrade Vmware no longer runs. It installs okay. I
get an error message:

"usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0:
no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)"

I googled the error message and actually found a response from a Ubuntu
user

" Copy /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 to /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/."

this eliminates the error message but Vmware doesn't run.

Any vmware users seeing similar results?
