J'obtiens ce message d'erreur:

$ vmware-server-console

$

J'ai essayé d'installer la dernière version de vmware-server-console:

# unzip VMware-server-linux-client-1.0.1-29996.zip
# tar xvzf VMware-server-console-1.0.1-29996.tar.gz
# cd vmware-server-console-distrib
# ./vmware-install.pl

Mais j'obtiens à nouveau le message d'erreur:

$ vmware-server-console
/usr/lib/vmware-server-console/bin/vmware-server-console: /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)

$

Après quelques recherches sur google, j'ai trouvé la solution:

  • Supprimer le fichier libpng12.so.0 distribué avec vmware-server-console
  • Créer un lien symbolique depuis la libpng livré avec Debian dans le répertoire lib de vmware-server-console
  • Supprimer libdbus-1-2
$ su -
# rm /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0
# cd /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/
# ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libpng12.so.0/
# apt-get remove libdbus-1-2                                                                                   17:05 #10024
