[CentOS] vmware server looking for libX11.so.6 32bit
Was wondering if anyone can help with this, im trying to
install vmware-server on a 64 bit centos 4.2 machine and
then install is saying it can't find the libX11.so.6 lib and
more
The correct version of one or more libraries needed to run
VMware Server may be
missing. This is the output of ldd /usr/bin/vmware:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xf7fd1000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf7fcd000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0
(0xf7fbb000)
libX11.so.6 => not found
libXtst.so.6 => not found
libXext.so.6 => not found
libXt.so.6 => not found
libICE.so.6 => not found
libSM.so.6 => not found
libXrender.so.1 => not found
libz.so.1 => not found
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00b4e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00b35000)
howver i have the 64bit versions of these filesand im unable
to install the i386 for arch reasons im sure off, just
wondering
if anyone had come across acure for this is it just a case
that the vmware product needs to be compiled against 64bit
libs and not 32 bit libs
Cheers

The 64-bit OS will run the 32-bit binaries just fine, but you must have the 32-bit libraries as well. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having 32-bit libraries installed alongside the 64-bit libraries (other than it's annoying).
