just a silly question - what is 'VMware 1.0.1'?
I meant "vmware server 1.0.1".
I'm mostly following the ivery simple instructions in
http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_sarge_vmware_server_howto
VMware has many products - most of them have higher current version
numbers.
That's why I kept getting confused about "which bloddy product should I
ACTUALLY use?" and was searched for simple instructions.
other then that - this sounds like a compiler versions mismatch to me -
for some reason, your vmware-thingy is taking gnome libraries from your
system, instead of its own bundled libraries (that's how they handle
other libraries, as you can see from the error message).
Lior Okman's suggestions proved useful and now I'm in the process of
installing Windows under a virtual machine.
why are you trying to use the server edition anyway, and not a
workstation edition? did you verify that the server edition is supposed
to work on more then a limited set of distributions? which server
product is it anyway? they have several...
I'd be glad to be corrected (and hopefully use a less demanding product that
can do the job for me) - my goal right now is to get Windows XP running on
my machine without taking down Debian Etch. My hardware doesn't support Xen
so VMware (let's forget aboput Qemu for the sake of this discussion) is the
only practical way I'm aware of.
I though that the Server is required in order to create Virtual Machines and
once they are created then maybe I can use something less demanding (in
terms of memory/cpu) in order to run them. Is this correct? If so then is
"Workstation" the product I should use to run the created VM's?
This part ("running an existing VM") is not quite covered by the HowtoForge
article I mention above - they just imply that you can/should use the same
Server used to create the VM's.
