Bugzilla Bug 149702

VMware fails to start:

# vmware
SSLLoadSharedLibrary: Failed to load library
/opt/vmware/server/lib/bin/libssl.so.0.9.7:/opt/vmware/server/lib/bin/libssl.so.0.9.7:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The dirty solution is to add libssl to vmware lib path:

# mkdir /opt/vmware/server/lib/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
# cp /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
/opt/vmware/server/lib/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7/

but this then causes following error:

# vmware
/opt/vmware/server/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup error:
/opt/vmware/server/lib/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7/libssl.so.0.9.7: undefined symbol:
EVP_idea_cbc

The EVP_idea_cbc is defined in libcrypto which comes with vmware. It needs to
be replaced with version which has the symbol:

# rm /opt/vmware/server/lib/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
# cp /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
/opt/vmware/server/lib/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7/

Now at least the local connetions work fine. I didn't test remote connections.
