I’ve installed VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 on 11.1 and every time I run the
GUI portion nothing comes up. I know VMWare is installed because when I
got to shell and type ‘vmware’ I get the usual command stuff.

Seems like there is a bug. If you start it from a console you will see
errors. GTK and segmentation in my case
The only way i could get wmware was to use the sever version after
following ‘this tutorial’

Thanks, I’ve been going in circles trying to figure this out.

Your welcome, hope it works for you.
There’s a bit of a learning curve when moving to the server version and
a fewer configuration options. Or maybe i just haven’t sussed it yat

Hi, this has come up in another thread here and on the vmware forums as
well.This is the fix for now:
As root do this
mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary_old
Then, still as root type
vmware
into the terminal and it will sort itself out.
Cheers, Peter.
