Hi Dimmus, First off, it would be very handy to know what those ...'s were! 5:) Please include the symbol name that was undefined. Then please ensure you have an up-to-date gtkmm, and please also recompile libview and libsexy. Finally please could you also report the results of trying it *without* the VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK? Thanks very much... 5:)
(In reply to comment #2) Hi, Mike, > First off, it would be very handy to know what those ...'s were! Please include the symbol name that was undefined. _ZThn24_N4view10FieldEntry17delete_text_vfuncEii > Then please ensure you have an up-to-date gtkmm, and please also recompile libview and libsexy. It is necessary, recompile these libraries has helped (libview and libsexy). The problem was most likely that I have collected at first gtkmm (2.10.10) without USE = "accessibility" (a question: why this flag is not exposed by default, and the recommendation appears directly already at installation vmware-workstation 6.0.0-45731), because of it there was a problem.
Hiya Dimmus, The latest vmware-workstation-6 ebuild should require gtkmm to have been compiled with the accessibility USE flag, but I'll double check that. Otherwise it sounds as though your problem's been solved, so I'm going to mark this bug as FIXED. If I've misunderstood and it isn't yet fixed, please feel free to reopen it... 5:)
Yes, the latest vmware-workstation-6 ebuild should require gtkmm to have been compiled with the accessibility USE flag, but it does not require recompile libview and libsexy in this connection there was a problem
Dimmus, Unfortunately, it's much easier to check whether gtkmm was built with the accessibility USE flag than it is to determine whether a couple of particular packages need rebuilding. I'm afraid I don't think there's much I can do to warn the user about that, other than keep around several bugzilla bugs explaining the solution...
Mike, that warn about recompile libview and libsexy after installation vmware in ebuild (src_install () {}) or by default set parameter USE = "accessibility" at compile gtkmm.

This is not fixed. /etc/env.d/90vmware-workstation still does not contain the suggested solution. Also, I figured out another bug (with VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes): Most parts seems to work. But when it tries to open an open-file-dialog (like in selecting an ISO or just load a vmware), it crashes and I get: /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/filesystems/libgnome-vfs.so: undefined symbol: g_get_user_special_dir So please reopen this bug.
Albert, please see bug 185444 comment 4 and my reply in 5. Currently the vmware herd will not ever set the VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK, because it does not allow interaction with the system libraries, meaning we cannot patch security issues. Please note that errors also occur when using VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK, as you yourself mentioned. Therefore, the best suggestion I have for your problems is to please check that you're using vmware-workstation-6.0.2, that gtkmm has been built with USE="accessibility" and that libsexy and libview have been recompiled *after* gtkmm was built with accessibility. If you're still having difficulties after you've verified all these things, we can start investigating further, but please bear in mind that given the binary nature of the package, and the fact that supporting libraries are changing all the time, there will not be a quick solution any time soon...
I understand the problem with VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK and I agree with you. I recompiled libsexy and libview and it works now for me. Though both libs were already compiled with accessibility before.
