[ubuntu-uk] VMWare on gutsy

[Michael Holloway]

Hey guys

Has anyone managed to install vmware on a gutsy server yet? I've been
going around in circles for ages now, i think every package from the
repo is now installed :) From what i have been able to google,
apparently libx11 causes this probably when its not install but i have
done that and still nothing. Any ideas?


And all i get is the following:

//*******
The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run VMware Server

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