:/ could you please check that 1) /etc/env.d/90vmware exists and has a line VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=1 2) that this variable is also in the environment when starting vmware? set|grep VMWARE to make sure, log out and back in again... [If you installed vmware12 at the very first moment when it was bumped, there was still a bug about that line... re-emerging might help then] Looking at /tmp/vmware-$USER/vmware-apploader*.log might help too

Created attachment 428880 [details] vmware-apploader-2805.log Not sure what is here but this is the log you had mentioned
(In reply to Billy DeVincentis from comment #3) > Created attachment 428880 [details] > vmware-apploader-2805.log > > Not sure what is here but this is the log you had mentioned From the log reported it seems that it is loading the system fontconfig library even if it was forced in using bundled libs. The system libs are built with gcc-5.x while the shipped ones with gcc-4.x. Having an ~amd64 system, which has a newer version of the lib comparing to the shipped version, probably leads vmware into loading the most recent version of the library overriding the VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS env variable.
can I add something to override that?
I'm not sure that is the problem but you could try emerging the lasted stable media-libs/fontconfig-2.11.1-r2 to see if it makes a difference (please verify with the log that the bundled fontconfig is then loaded)
tried that but still the same thing. Why is noone else seeing this?
Created attachment 429082 [details] Log with USE="-bundled-libs" I've got a very similar problem, although my log clearly indicates a symbol issue in loading. This log is with USE="-bundled-libs" (which I've had set for years). I don't remember when vmware last worked, but I suspect this is a recent change (within the last month or so, if not more recently). Trying with USE="bundled-libs" give a similar log to that already provided, but on the command-line gives the following: mike@plasma ~ $ VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=1 vmware /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:1163: error: unexpected identifier `direction', expected character `}' Loop on signal 11. Let me know if there's more information I can provide, or tests I can run...
Created attachment 429086 [details] Log with USE="bundled-libs" but *without* VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS Interestingly, I got vmware to start by installing the USE="bundled-libs" version, but then *not* setting the VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS variable. When that was set, I'd get the signal 11 loop, but without it set the whole thing seems to start up fine?
I deleted the line in 90vmware regarding shipped libs and I was able to get workstation to start 1 time. Now it once again gives me issues with loop on signal 11
If you've edited the file in /etc/env.d, you'll need to run env-update and then close/log out of any session you want to run vmware in (otherwise the environment variable may be restored from the profile). Please could you ensure you've run env-update and then ideally rebooted to ensure you have no old sessions open, and then report back whether you're still having problems?
Just for the record I haven't been able to reproduce this problem :/ VMware offers a more finegrained method to control the libraries (VMWARE_SHIPPED_LIBS_LIST etc) but I haven't tested this yet. Anyway, you dont need to change the environment file, log out and in just to test this. Much easier: call vmware from the command line with environment variables set, e.g., VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=yes vmware
Except with VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS=no, since having it set is what's causing problems. 5;)
Ive tried this every possible combination running env-update and rebooting and I still get loop on signal 11. I have an ~ system, maybe that is the problem. I still have a hard time believing that noone else is running into this.
Okay, I got this to start by deleting /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libfontconfig.so.1/libfontconfig.so.1 Then I copied /usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1.9.0 to replace the deleted shipped lib and renamed it to libfontconfig.so.1 Now vmware will start. Please not that I am not using any variables in 90vmware, shipped libs line is deleted and I am calling "vmware" to start it, nothing else.
Okay, Can someone please explain to me why is it that we must use the bundled-libs use flag if we are running gcc5? The lib I copied from my system was built with gcc5 and starts just fine when I drop it into the appropriate vmware lib folder. Why cant we just use all system libs?

Why cant we just use all system libs? * maybe vmware 12 is compatible with gcc5 (the decision was based on vmware 11) * maybe that lib doesnt use any c++ interface? I'll be happy to remove that message again if things work...
I don't know if it is or isn't, I know that fedora 23 has issues starting vmware see here http://vcojot.blogspot.com/2015/11/vmware-worksation-12-on-fedora-core-23.html I don't believe it started for me with gcc 5 and -bundled libs. When I have some time I will try it again
Okay, I tried emerging it with gcc 5 and -bundled-libs, definitely would not start. Gcc 5 is definitely a problem. I did reemerge with bundled-libs, deleted the line regarding libs in /etc/env.d/90vmware, replaced /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libfontconfig.so.1/libfontconfig.so.1 with system lib (not the symlink) and renamed to match. Vmware starts but my fonts are ridiculously small. I attempted to change the /usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 in for the shipped lib but vmware would not start.

This log is with USE="-bundled-libs" (which I've had set > for years).

Confirmed the problem with USE="-bundled-libs" and gcc-5, VMWARE_USE_SHIPPER_LIBS is then mandatory in that condition. I have built an ~amd64 system on a virtual machine and I cannot reproduce the problem :-( Anyway I have pushed to the vmware overlay a few changes cleaning the deps and enforcing the use of bundled libs especially for glib and fontconfig. I have tested on a virtual machine so I was not able to test completely (I was able to start vmware but not to launch the vm). Please have a test
Just tried latest version from your overlay. Does not work. Vmware will only start if I trade out system lib fontconfig for shipped one and if I delete line about shipped libs in 90vmware

Vmware will only > start if I trade out system lib fontconfig for shipped one and if I delete > line about shipped libs in 90vmware Please now use the Gentoo vmware overlay, I don't update anymore mine (which I'll remove soon).
Billy, can you test the latest version in the gentoo vmware overlay with +bundled-libs?
Does not start. I can get it to start by editing the file in /etc/env.d and by replacing the following libs from the system libfontconfig.so.1 libgio-2.0.so.0 libglib-2.0.so.0 libgmodule-2.0.so.0 libgobject-2.0.so.0 libgthread-2.0.so.0

Are you using gnome? Which version?
It seems we are not the only distro to currently have issues with vmware please see here http://vcojot.blogspot.com/2015/11/vmware-worksation-12-on-fedora-core-23.html The libraries I am replacing are the same libraries replaced for Fedora 23. I am not using Gnome, I use Plasma 5.
FWIW, unsetting VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS works for me in Plasma 5. This is with vmware-workstation-12.1.1.3770994 from Gentoo's vmware overlay, built with USE=bundled-libs.
I am getting the seg fault with bundled libs, I did have the SHIPPED_LIBS but now I will try again without that line and see what happens. I am using from Gentoo and have ~amd64 system. Doing that, VMware does not start, no logs, nothing.

Which version? I tried replacing the suggested libs and VMware still does not start -- I have dev-libs/glib-48.2.
This bug concerns unstable: . . . ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" REFERENCE: Bug 616958 : app-emulation/vmware-workstation-12.5.7 version bump [for "stable", excluding "~amd64"] Hi, Billy, to me, this bug seems to be OBSOLETE. Would you mind having this one closed and - in case - a fresh one opened against app-emulation/vmware-workstation-12.5.7 version bump ["~amd64"] in order to keep the issues involved separated?
