tyring to install VMware 1 on a sme 8 server

vpurger i installed " yum install libXtst "
when i do a " vmware-config.pl " i still get the following error

======================
The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Server may be
missing.  This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware:
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7efb000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7ecb000)

This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to glibc
before you can run VMware Server.

Hit enter to continue.
==========================

however i can continue with the installation up to a point when it asks me:

=====================
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [no]
=====================

when i say yes i get asked
===================
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
=====================

i cannot seem to get past this point.

any ideas, i really need to get this working  :(

any help greatly appreciated 

vpurger:
that is new instalation, yes ?

yum install libXt libICE libSM libXrender kernel-devel

Hi Bud

You should make in this way:


--- Quote ---yum install gcc
yum install libX11* (not sure if necessary)
yum install libXt*
yum install xinetd
--- End quote ---


--- Quote ---yum install kernel-headers
--- End quote ---
or

--- Quote ---yum install kernel-pae-headers
--- End quote ---

depending on Your installed kernel  (uname -a); in my actual server(s) is always needed to compile kernel modules;

Then you can install Vmware and configure it:


--- Quote ---yum localinstall  VMware-server-1.0.10-203137.i386.rpm
--- End quote ---


--- Quote ---vmware-config.pl
--- End quote ---


--- Quote ---ln -s ../init.d/vmware /etc/rc7.d/S19vmware
--- End quote ---

modify /etc/xinetd.d/vmware-authd to prevent console hang while trying to connect to server.


--- Quote ---\# default: on
\# description: The VMware remote access authentification daemon

service vmware-authd
{
    disable         = no
    port            = 902
    socket_type     = stream
    flags           = NOLIBWRAP
    protocol        = tcp
    wait            = no
    user            = root
    server          = /usr/sbin/vmware-authd
    type            = unlisted
}
--- End quote ---

adding flags = NOLIBWRAP

This works but You'll note be able to configure Vmware server via db commands (the current contrib does not work with SME8); see wiki in the section http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#smeserver-vmware

Bye

Nicola

Bud:
vpburger thank you for your input much appreciated
yes it is a new sme 8 server

nicolatiana thanks so much, i have done what you recommended and VMWare 1 is installed however i now have another problem

i am trying to install the " Management UI for VMWare Server "

When I do a " ./vmware-install.pl " this is the output i get
==================
Do you accept? (yes/no) yes

Thank you.

Installing the content of the package.

VMware Server must be installed on this machine for the VMware Management
Interface to work

Execution aborted.
======================

When I do:
# /etc/init.d/vmware restart
Stopping VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]
Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]

And run " # ./vmware-install.pl " again, i still get the same result

What Now  :P

Thanks for your help

vpurger:
I usually use the VMware Server Console client, but I believe it will help yum install libXi :-)
