Hello,
First of all, sorry for replying in English, but my skills at writing German are not sufficient to explain the things I want to write.
First of all:
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
This is just an information message. It's not an error, so just ignore it.
Secondly:
VMware Server Error:
The command line specifies more than one configuration file.
NOTE: To run the user interface, use vmware and not vmware-vmx
Usage information for vmware-vmx follows
Usage: vmware-vmx [<flags>] [configfile]
where <flags> are:
-s name= value set variable NAME to VALUE
-q exit at power off
-x power on when program starts
-X as -x , also go to full sceen mode
-v print program version
Press "Enter" to continue
You get this error because there are spaces in the path to the vmx file. So when the program vmware-vmx runs, it thinks you want it to load a configuration file called " /var/lib/vmware/Virtual" and then another one called "Machines/LUEF0002/LUEF0002.vmx" which of course is not what you want to do.
You need to write it like this in the terminal:
usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx "/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/LUEF0002/LUEF0002.vmx"
(with " " around the path to the file you want to load)
You can also write:
usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/LUEF0002/LUEF0002.vmx
(the \ tells the terminal that the next character is a special one, so it shouldn't treat it as it usually does with spaces)
On Ubuntu I need to put a slash (/) before the "usr" in both of these commands. Perhaps RH works differently.
However, even if you do those two things it probably still won't work. There are some problems getting VMware to run on Fedora and RH:ES. There is a nice guide (in English) to installing it on Fedora here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware_server_fedora7
With any luck, it will also work with RH:ES. If you follow that guide, be aware that when it says to download "vmware-any-any-update110.tar.gz" with wget, you need to go to the ftp site and find out which version is the newest one. Right now, it's called "vmware-any-any-update115.tar.gz".
There is a (simpler?) guide here:
http://theregime.wordpress.com/2007/11/ ... -fedora-7/
I have not tried either of these guides myself as I use Ubuntu, but I've been told that these guides do work (or at least they did last year).
Good luck, and sorry again for posting in English on a German forum. Hopefully my post is understandable, and if not perhaps somebody can translate it.
