Topic: [Solved] VMware - Missing libs

[william_syd]

Noted on Nov 3 vmware not working.

Ran the config script.

Code: [Select]

[root@tiger ~]# vmware-config.pl
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:
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x009e5000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00a0a000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00a3e000)
        libX11.so.6 => not found
        libXtst.so.6 => not found
        libXext.so.6 => not found
        libXt.so.6 => not found
        libICE.so.6 => not found
        libSM.so.6 => not found
        libXrender.so.1 => not found
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00a2c000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x008b7000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0089d000)

This program cannot tell for sure, but you may need to upgrade libc5 to glibc
before you can run VMware Server.
Very possible the updates I did on Nov 1 might be the cause as I didn't recheck vmware after reboot.

Yum install log is here.... https://secure.magicwilly.info:444/vmware/tigeryumlog.txt

Tried a few things on Nov 4 as per log.

Any ideas?

Which repositories do you have enabled? As I cannot find any version of fortune in the default repositories. It is in the dag repository, which might mean that this is enabled by default or in your update command. This very likely installed some packages from the dag repository which updated SME Server core packages... Once again: Never enable repositories by default that are explicitly set as disabled in the wiki.

It seems you received a new kernel. Are you sure you executed the reconfigure action (signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot)?

From what version of SME Server did you upgrade?

Only standard repos enabled

Non-standard enabled only when needed on the command line.

I think it was a fresh install of 7.2.

The missing files are on the machine.

After some googling found a solution.

Code: [Select]

/sbin/ldconfig  -v /usr/X11R6/lib

I just had another look at your yum log file and noticed a xorg-x11-deprecated-libs to be installed. I think you installed something old as this packages requires your missing files, perhaps it is the only one requiring this file. You could find out by doing this:

Code: [Select]

rpm -q --whatrequires xorg-x11-deprecated-libsI guess they are not marked as deprecated for a reason, perhaps you need to upgrade to another package or something similar.

Code: [Select]

[root@tiger ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires xorg-x11-deprecated-libs
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.31
[root@tiger ~]#

Anything installed after the 3rd was a shotgun attempt to fix my problem.
