Bug 248245 – app-emulation/vmware-workstation-6.5.0.118166 fails to start with symbol lookup error in libvmwareui

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Bob Johnson 2008-11-22 20:47:56 UTC]

Today's stabilization of kernel 2.6.26.7 prevents vmware-workstation-5.* from running, so I had to upgrade to vmware-workstation-6.5. I now have vmware-workstation installed correctly according to emerge (after recompiling the kernel for fuse support and installing sys-fs/fuse, but that's a story for another bug report...), but when I try to run it I get a symbol lookup error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge ~x86 vmware-workstation
2.run it
3.fail

Actual Results:  
bjohnson@ariel ~ $ vmware

Oops, should have commented on this earlier. I was able to resolve this by re-emerging libview. It's still a bug in the ebuild dependency chain somewhere, I think, but I'm not sure if it can be fixed, or is worth fixing. I'll leave that for the developers to sort out. Re-compiling is the workaround.

Uh, make that 're-emerging libview is the workaround.'
