Hi,

On my opensuse 10.3 I cannot open VMware Workstation anymore.

Which vmware version do you use?

I use 5.5.5 | 09/18/07 | 56455 | 109 MB Workstation

...

If I try to open it I get this message:

~> vmware /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-glib.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Interesting: vmware version 1.0.4 build-56528 does not search (need?) for "libavahi-glib". I made a "strace -fox -s 4096 vmware" and searched for the libavahi error, but I do not see this.

This errors I do also see, but for me vmware (version 1.0.4 build-56528) works as expected.

What does this mean, and how can I get rid of it ?

Perhaps, rerun vmware-config.pl or update :-)

I have done that, but no luck.
