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.
